Anticoagulant rodenticides (AR), principally difethialone, brodifacoum, and bromadiolone, were detected in the livers of 89% of 72 Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) from New York City, New York, US examined for cause of death over a 7-yr period (January 2012-December 2018). Fatal hemorrhage likely attributable to AR exposure was diagnosed in 41% (30/74) of cases, and 46% (18/39) of the cases analyzed with no gross evidence of AR-mediated hemorrhage had liver concentrations of AR that overlapped those with an AR-poisoning diagnosis. Although urban areas like New York City can support surprisingly dense populations of Red-tailed Hawks, the threat posed by extensive use of AR can be large.
抗凝血灭鼠剂(AR),主要是敌鼠酮、溴敌隆和溴鼠灵,在美国纽约市,有 72 只红尾鹰(Buteo jamaicensis)因死因不明而接受检查,在 7 年的时间里(2012 年 1 月至 2018 年 12 月),有 89%的红尾鹰肝脏中检测到了 AR。41%(30/74)的病例中诊断出与 AR 暴露相关的致命性出血,而在 46%(18/39)的无 AR 介导性出血明显肉眼证据的病例中,AR 的肝浓度与 AR 中毒诊断重叠。尽管像纽约市这样的城市地区可能支持大量红尾鹰的密集种群,但广泛使用 AR 所带来的威胁可能很大。
