“…Os sinais clínicos observados como: incoordenação, ataxia e paralisia flácida, sialorreia, protusão da língua e midríase, também foram observados na literatura consultada (Greene, 2008;Silva et al, 2018). Vômito, taquicardia, temperatura de 39,8ºC, sensibilidade a dor profunda e superficial presente, bem como o balançar de cauda, são observados no presente relato, estes achados são comuns em animais que são acometidos pela toxina, devido à toxicocinética onde a toxina se liga irreversivelmente aos receptores da acetilcolina (Monego et al, 2006;Barsanti, 2012;Stucchi et al, 2013).…”

“…A toxina botulínica é frequentemente relatada em animais nos períodos mais quentes do ano em países de climas temperados 22º e 37ºC favorecendo a proliferação da toxina nos alimentos (Beer, 1999), logo a região nordeste brasileira tem o clima ideal para proliferação da mesma. Já foram relatados casos de botulismo em cães pelo mundo (Uriarte et al, 2010), no Brasil os relatos são escassos, observados alguns na região sudeste do país e apenas um relato de dez casos em clínicas particulares do estado de Pernambuco, Brasil (Silva et al, 2008;Moura et al, 2014;Silva et al, 2018).…”

O botulismo é uma intoxicação causada pela toxina do bacilo Clostridium botulinum, encontrado frequentemente no solo. Há oito tipos de toxinas (A até H), onde a toxina do tipo C é a que mais acomete os caninos. A intoxicação é causada pela ingestão de alimentos deteriorados ou carcaças em decomposição. Sua ocorrência é rara em carnívoros. O seu diagnóstico se dá por alterações clínicas e histórico de ingestão de alimento deteriorado. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo, relatar um caso de botulismo em um cão, sem raça definida, atendido no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco apresentando paralisia flácida com evolução de 24h, vindo a óbito no dia seguinte com histórico de ingestão de carcaça de um bovino em estado avançado de putrefação. O botulismo mesmo sendo considerado raro em cães é uma enfermidade a ser considerada na clínica médica de pequenos. O destino adequado dos resíduos, lixo e de carcaças deterioradas é um ótimo modo de profilaxia para esta doença.

“…Botulism is a rarely reported disease in NHP. The published reports on botulism in captive NHP indicate that the cases were food- and water-borne botulism caused by the type C toxin [ 52 , 53 , 54 ]. Diagnosis is usually based on the history and clinical signs, and laboratory confirmation of the toxin’s presence in the suspected source and blood, body fluids, and excretions of affected animals.…”

Reports of unintentional intoxications in nonhuman primates (NHP) are few and an up-to-date review of such intoxications in NHP is lacking. We reviewed the published veterinary literature on unintentional intoxications in wild and captive NHP in order to provide a useful resource on known toxic agents of NHP for veterinarians, caregivers, and researchers who work with NHP. To these ends, we first conducted a literature search for books, book chapters, peer-reviewed publications, conference proceedings, and newsletters in academic literature databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, BioOne Complete, and Web of Science using the words and word combinations such as heavy metals, pesticides, poisonings, and nonhuman primates. We then evaluated the search results for those reports that we considered as clinically relevant and then classified them according to the toxic agent. We identified lead, zinc, phytotoxins, pesticides, botulinum toxin, polychlorinated biphenyls, and snake and spider venoms as the main toxic agents in wild and captive NHP. We concluded that the toxic threats to wild NHP are different to those of captive NHP because of the environment in which they live. We recommend that an intoxication should be part of a differential diagnosis when a NHP presents with clinical signs that cannot be linked to a known disorder or dies suddenly with no preceding clinical signs. In cases of the former, laboratory testing for known toxins and pollutants should be conducted. In cases of the latter, a thorough postmortem examination, together with extensive laboratory testing, for known toxins and environmental pollutants in all tissues and organs should be performed.

“…Type C, particularly, and D also are responsible for most cases of avian botulism. Several outbreaks of type C botulism in wild species have been reported in several countries (Silva et al, 2018). The animal develops flaccid paralysis, reported in chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus), ducks (Cairina moschata) guinea fowl (Numida meleagris).…”

The purpose of this study is to report an outbreak of avian botulism in backyard poultry farming. In 2019, a botulism outbreak in a flock of laying hens was investigated in Brazil. In the flock of 30 hens, clinical signs of botulism occurred after they ate decaying vegetables. A type C botulism outbreak was confirmed using the mouse lethality assay for detection of botulinum toxin in serum and ELISA test to detect Clostridium botulinum in intestinal contents and serum. Botulism in laying hens has rarely been reported. The chickens developed cyanotic comb and wattle, dyspnea, different degrees of flaccid paralysis in the neck, and detachment of feathers. No macroscopic lesions were observed, as were microscopic findings. The chicken's serum was neutralized by C antitoxin, confirming the botulism diagnosis, and also toxin was detected in intestinal contents.
