Intentional and accidental poisoning of animals is often caused by readily available commercial pesticides, such as the molluscicide metaldehyde. A retrospective analysis of suspected metaldehyde poisonings between 2014 and 2016 in Italy was conducted.
Biological matrices were collected for toxicological analyses in the course of routine Institute activity. A total of 183 organs from dogs and cats and 49 pieces of bait, here specifically poisoned food used to lure animals, were analysed and the presence of metaldehyde was confirmed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
A high content of metaldehyde was demonstrated in the analysed samples from dogs and cats: 50 (27.3%) animals were found positive for metaldehyde intoxication together with 17 pieces of bait.
The study emphasised the need for the control of metaldehyde use by the veterinary service.
动物的故意和意外中毒通常是由容易获得的商业杀虫剂引起的，比如杀软体动物剂聚乙醛。对2014年至2016年期间意大利疑似聚乙醛中毒事件进行了回顾性分析。
在研究所日常活动过程中收集生物样本进行毒理学分析。共分析了来自狗和猫的183个器官以及49份诱饵（此处指专门用于诱捕动物的有毒食物），通过气相色谱-质谱联用仪（GC/MS）确认了聚乙醛的存在。
在分析的狗和猫的样本中发现了高含量的聚乙醛：50只（27.3%）动物被发现聚乙醛中毒呈阳性，还有17份诱饵。
该研究强调了兽医服务部门控制聚乙醛使用的必要性。
