Exposure of raptors and waterbirds to anticoagulant rodenticides (difenacoum, bromadiolone, coumatetralyl, coumafen, brodifacoum): epidemiological survey in Loire Atlantique (France).

摘要: Anticoagulant rodenticides are commonly used to control rodent pests all over the world. These pesticides inhibit vitamin K cycle in liver, prevent blood clotting and cause death by hemorrhage. Despite fact that they were intended for of commensal rodents, may affect non target species, either directly consumption contaminated cereal-based baits, or indirectly preys (secondary poisoning). Secondary poisoning species anticoagulant has been confirmed many mammals birds such as mustelids, foxes prey (Shore et al., 1996; Berny 1997; Birks 1998; Stone 1999; 2003; Harding 2004; Fournier-Chambrillon 2004). Nevertheless, direct form baits is poorly documented. Loire Atlantique a French department well known its wetlands marshes which especially against coypus (Myocastor coypus) because damage cereal fields, rivers water ponds banks. The aim this study was estimate exposure raptors waterbirds Atlantique.
