“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Estes casos geralmente estão relacionados à sobreposição de uso do espaço entre o homem e animais, a atividade biológica dos animais, ao comportamento das espécies peçonhentas no ambiente e ao tipo de atividade desenvolvida pela vítima. 7 Todos os anos, no Brasil, ocorrem cerca de 100 mil acidentes por animais peçonhentos, resultando em 220 mortes e cerca de 1000 pacientes sofrem sequelas após uma picada de cobra.…”

Quanto às vítimas, prevaleceram indivíduos do sexo masculino (76,5%), na faixa etária entre 30 a 49 anos (41,2%), de raça parda (72,1%), com ensino fundamental (55,9%) envolvidos em atividades do campo como agricultura e pecuária (41,2%). Predominaram os acidentes de gravidade moderada (48,5%) e todos os casos graves foram provocados por serpentes. Na maioria dos agravos (75,0%), não foi registrada relação entre o acidente e a atividade ocupacional. As regiões corpóreas mais atingidas foram pé (39,7%), perna (20,6%) e mão (11,8%). As manifestações locais predominantes foram dor, edema e equimose. As manifestações sistêmicas de maior ocorrência foram hemorrágicas e vagais. Conclusão:Portanto, o período avaliado foi caracterizado pelo predomínio de acidentes com serpentes, no sexo masculino, em atividades do campo e de gravidade moderada. Assim, campanhas educativas e a adoção de medidas de prevenção são fundamentais para diminuir o registro desses agravos neste município. Background and Objectives:Accidents with poisonous animals are a public health problem in Brazil, especially in countryside cities. Updated regional information is important for the development of epidemiological surveillance activities. Through this research, we determined the epidemiological aspects of the cases registered in Nova Xavantina, State of Mato Grosso, Brazil, from January 2007 to May 2013. Methods: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive epidemiological study. Results: In this period, 68 accidents occurred, of which 44 were caused by snakes, 19 by scorpions, and four by spiders. Most accidents with snakes were caused by the genera Bothrops (79.5%), Crotalus (11.5%), and Micrurus (2.3%). As for the victims, there was a prevalence of males (76.5%), aged between 30 and 49 years (41.2%) of mixed race (72.1%), with basic education (55.9%) involved in field activities, such as agriculture and livestock (41.2%).There was a predominance of accidents of moderate severity (48.5%) and all serious cases were caused by snakes. In most injuries (75%), the relationship between the accidents and occupational activities was not recorded. The most affected body regions were the feet (39.7%), legs (20.6%), and hands (11.8%). The predominant local manifestations were pain, swelling, and bruising. The predominant systemic manifestations were hemorrhage, nausea and vomiting. Conclusion: The study period was characterized by the predominance of accidents involving snakes and male individuals in field activities and of moderate severity. Thus, educational campaigns and the adoption of preventive measures are essential to reduce the occurrence of these diseases in this city. http://dx.doi.org/10.17058/reci.v5i3.5724 ARTIGO ORIGINAL RESUMO ABSTRACT

“…114,115 The toxicants of greatest concern in this category are carbamate and organophosphorus insecticides. 115 In 1998, 167 lactating dairy cows died within a 24-hour period in the Central Valley of California after ingesting phorate (Puschner, personal communication).…”

Abstract:In this retrospective study all suspect bovine intoxications submitted to the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2011 were reviewed. A total of 1199 cases were submitted, but a diagnosis of intoxication was only established in 13.5% of cases. In these cases, overexposures to minerals, metals, and poisonous plants were determined as the most commonly diagnosed poisonings in cattle in California. Nitrate/nitrite poisoning was the most commonly diagnosed plant-associated intoxication, followed by gossypol and oleander. This study details the diagnostic challenges and treatment options for the most commonly diagnosed intoxications. To ensure proper treatment and prevention of new cases, accurate diagnosis is necessary, and therefore this review provides an essential tool for the food animal practitioner. Available toxicological analyses are offered at select laboratories, which can be time consuming and expensive, yet the potential for residues in consumed animal products and implications for human health necessitate testing and consultation. Any potential exposure to a toxicant in cattle should be reviewed to determine whether a residue hazard exists. Therapy focuses on immediate removal of the toxicant from the environment and from the gastrointestinal tract. With few antidotes available, most are cost prohibitive to treat numerous affected cattle. In addition, most antidotes will require extra-label drug use and establishment of meat and milk withdrawal times.

“…Human exposure is fairly limited, thanks to the use of bittering agents and the vast majority of AVK exposure in humans result in no clinical signs. Only suicidal attempts may result in severe poisoning cases, but, generally speaking, AVK exposure in humans does not result in prolonged surveillance of patients (Caravatti et al, 2007) The high frequency of rodenticide primary poisoning in companion animals is fairly widespread across Europe and the US (Roben et al, 1998, Guitart et al, 2010a, Guitart et al, 2010b. Most cases involve dogs, although cats may sometimes be affected as well (Kohn et al, 2003).…”

“…Pre-ruminant animals are usually considered to be more susceptible and, indeed, they are usually more affected (Berny et al, 2005) and sometimes also more exposed (Braselton et al, 1992, Del Piero andPoppenga, 2003). Some cases of AVK poisoning are reported in horses (Guitart et al, 2010a), although rarely. Lethal cases are also described with hemorrhages in horses.…”
