Organophosphates and carbamates Overview
ОглавлениеOrganophosphates (chlorpyrifos, diazinon, dichlorvos, fenthion) and carbamates (aldicarb, methomyl, carbofuran, carbaryl) are widely used for insect and nematode control in dogs and cats and for insect control in the household and garden. They are available as sprays, pour-ons, oral anthelminthics, baits, collars, dips, dusts and granules (Wismer and Means, 2012). Exposure commonly results from accidental cutaneous overdose or ingestion (Dorman and Fikes, 1993). Organophosphate toxicity may result in acute (<7 h), intermediate (7–96 h) and delayed (1–4 weeks) syndromes.
