Field Method for Analyzing Birds for Avicide 3-chloro-p- Toluidine Hydrochloride
نویسنده
چکیده
We developed a fast and simple method to detect presence or absence of DRC-1339 (CPTH: 3-Chloro-p-toluidine Hydrochloride) in birds that fed on DRC-1339 bait sites. We compared the effectiveness of the colorimetric method to the previously published analytical method using birds collected from DRC-1339 bait sites in Louisiana and Texas. We also conducted tests with caged red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) to determine if time from consumption of DRC-1339-treated bait to death and time from death to colorimetric analysis affected test results. The colorimetric assay was effective in detecting the presence or absence of DRC-1339 in birds collected from bait sites. In the tests with caged birds, the method resulted in the detection of four grains of treated rice consumed up to 120 minutes post consumption, but failed to detect 1 grain of treated rice consumed at 120 minutes. Frozen samples of 4 treated consumed rice grains could be detected up to 90 days post collection.

METHODS FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE 3-CHLORO-<i>p</i>-TOLUIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE POISONING IN BIRDS AND THE ESTIMATION OF SECONDARY HAZARDS TO WILDLIFE
Female boat-tailed grackles poisoned with 3-chloro-p-toluidine hydrochloride (CPTH) were analyzed by necropsy and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The necropsies identified the presence of a white precipitate in the pericardium, which had been previously reported as a characteristic of CPTH-exposed birds. The GC-MS method, which utilized deuterated CPTH as a surrogate, quantified C...

Methods are developed to extract and quantitate the avicide 3-chloro-p-toluidine hydrochloride (CPT HCl) from rough-hulled rice and ethyl-cellulose-coated rice baits using high-performance liquid chromatography. The mobile phase used in the ethyl-cellulose-coated rice matrix method is an acetonitrile(ACN)-phosphate buffer (60:40) at pH 8, and the rough-hulled rice matrix method uses an CAN-phos...
متن کاملProbabilistic model for estimating field mortality of target and non-target bird populations when simultaneously exposed to avicide bait.
A probabilistic model was developed to estimate target and non-target avian mortality associated with the application of the avicide CPTH (3-chloro-p-toluidine hydrochloride) to minimize sprouting rice damage in the southern USA. CPTH exposures for individual birds were predicted by random sampling from species-specific non-parametric distributions of bait seed consumption and CPTH residues det...

An investigation of the migration of 3-chloro-p-toluidine hydrochloride (CPTH) on treated rice baits to soils in Louisiana rice fields was completed. The persistence of free CPTH in these soils was evaluated with field and laboratory experiments. These soils were also screened for the presence of CPTH degradation products. Soils treated with CPTHfortified rice bait and aqueous solutions of CPTH...
