| Abstract |
Northern bobwhite, Colinus virginianus, were orally dosed with the organophosphorus insecticide chlorpyrifos to examine effects on brain cholinesterase (AChE) activity. Two-week-old quail were acutely exposed and euthanized at selected times following gavage-dosing, ranging from 1 to 120 h later. The AChE activity was determined in treated birds and compared to concurrently tested control (corn oil) birds. It was found that a lag time of 2 to 4 h following dose exposure was necessary to detect significant AChE depression caused by chlorpyrifos. The lowest dose that produced ChE to detect significant ChE depression in these tests was between approximately 30 and 50 mg chlorpyrifos/kg body weight, with some mortality occurring at the high end of that range. Depression typically persisted for at least 24 h. |
