A possible cantharidin intoxication of a great bustard (Otis tarda) was described. This wild bird died by a traumatism, but also presented diarrhoea, congestion of the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys and had ingested several blister beetles of the species Berberomeloe majalis. The analysis of the stomach content by GC-MS revealed the presence of cantharidin at a concentration of 1.37 μg/g of wet weight, a similar level than in other birds poisoned in captivity.
描述了一只大鸨(Otis tarda)可能的斑蝥中毒情况。这只野生鸟类死于外伤,但也出现了腹泻、胃肠道和肾脏充血,并摄入了几种斑蝥属物种(Berberomeloe majalis)的水疱甲虫。通过 GC-MS 对胃内容物进行的分析显示,存在 1.37μg/g 湿重的斑蝥素,这与其他在圈养中中毒的鸟类的水平相似。
