Abstract
Acute toxicity, bioaccumulation, and elimination of herbicide clomazone in the earthworm Eisenia fetida were investigated in the different exposure systems. The LC50 values of clomazone on earthworms were 5.6 μg cm(-2) in the contact filter paper test (48 h), 174.9 mg kg(-1) (7 days) and 123.4 mg kg(-1) (14 days) in artificial soil test, respectively. Clomazone could rapidly bioaccumulate in earthworms and reached the highest concentration after 3 days exposure, with the maximum concentrations of 9.0, 35.3 and 142.3 mg kg(-1) at 10.0, 40.0 and 160.0 mg kg(-1) of clomazone, respectively. Clomazone uptake showed a good correlation with exposure concentration. After the 14th day, clomazone declined to minimum value. About 74%-80% of accumulated clomazone was eliminated within 1 day after exposed to clomazone-free soil. However, a trace amount of clomazone persisted for a relatively long time in earthworms.

Determination of ivermectin in medicated feeds by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. ScientificWorldJournal 2013; 2013:362453. [PMID: 24453835 PMCID: PMC3881679 DOI: 10.1155/2013/362453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2013] [Accepted: 09/30/2013] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
A labour- and time-effective analytical procedure for determination of ivermectin in medicated feed at recommended level of 2.0 mg kg(-1) has been developed and validated. The analyte was extracted from grinded feed samples with acetonitrile and derivatisated with N-methylimidazole and trifluoracetic anhydride. The fluorescent derivatives were analysed by liquid chromatography method using C8 column. The isocratic conditions using acetonitrile, methanol, water, and tetrahydrofuran were applied. Fluorescence detection was performed at 365 nm (excitation) and 475 nm (emission) wavelengths. The total analysis time was 10 min. The validation results of the method (within-laboratory reproducibility 4.0% CV, mean recovery 100.1%) confirm the appropriate precision and accuracy of the developed method.

Abstract
The residue depletion profiles of tritium-labeled ivermectin and its metabolites in the muscle of aquacultured largemouth bass (LMB), hybrid striped bass (HSB), and yellow perch (YP) following oral treatment are reported. Fish were administered ³H-ivermectin at the dose level of 0.1 mg/kg body weight (7-9 μCi) in a gel capsule via stomach tube. At each postdose withdrawal time, six fish of each species were sedated with buffered MS-222 and blood samples taken. Fish were then euthanized, and fillets with adhering skin (scales removed) and bile samples were collected. The muscle fillets were homogenized in dry ice to a fine powder. Aliquots of tissue, plasma, and bile were assayed for total radioactive residue (TRR). The homogenized muscle was extracted in acetonitrile or methanol followed by high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis to determine the presence of parent ivermectin and its potential metabolites. The highest TRR concentrations (ivermectin equivalents) of 53, 45, and 44 ng/g (ppb) were obtained on postdose day 1 for HSB, LMB, and YP, respectively. The TRR depleted most slowly in HSB to 25 ppb at day 91, followed by YP to 19 ppb at day 42 and then by LMB to 22 ppb at day 35. The total residue of ivermectin and its metabolites by HPLC analysis followed the same depletion pattern in the three species. Additionally, the depletion rate of TRR of ³H-ivermectin in the three species followed the pattern bile > plasma > muscle. The results further indicate that one of the polar metabolites of ivermectin could serve as a potential marker residue as an indication of use, rather than the parent ivermectin.

Abstract
The effect of abamectin (ABM) on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was studied. The acute toxicity of ABM on rainbow trout was established, following the target 58-h water bath exposure of ABM concentrations from 0.6 to 4.5 microg/l, on the basis of which LD75 (4.0 microg/l) was calculated. The histological changes in organs showed a direct toxicity of ABM for rainbow trout since degenerative changes in brain and kidney and--to a minor extent--in liver were established. The values of the ABM residues in fish muscle tissue with skin were proportional to the exposed concentrations of ABM.

Abstract
The acute toxicity, bioaccumulation, and elimination of avermectin B1a (AVM B1a) in earthworm (Eisenia fetida) were investigated in different exposure systems. The LC50 of AVM B1a on earthworms were 24.1 mg/kg and 17.1 mg/kg, respectively, for 7 and 14 days in artificial soil. The LC50 tested by the filter paper for 2 days was 4.63 microg/cm2. The earthworms were cultivated in artificial soil containing 0.6 mg/kg and 3.0 mg/kg AVM B1a, respectively for bioaccumulation experiments. The AVM B1a residues in earthworms were determined with HPLC-fluorescence method. The results showed that AVM B1a was taken up from the concentrated artificial soil by the earthworms and the steady-state levels were reached after 9-18 days of exposure. On the 18th day, the final concentrations of AVM B1a in the earthworms treated with two different dosages were 107 ng/g and 165 ng/g, respectively; there were not significantly accumulation. About 80.0% and 94.8% of the accumulated AVM B1a were eliminated respectively in two groups within 1 day after they were exposed to AVM B1a-free soil, but a trace amount of AVM B1a was found for a relative long time in earthworms.

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive biosensor immunoassay was developed for residues of the antiparasitic agent ivermectin in bovine liver. A detection limit of 19.1 ng g(-1) was achieved. The sensor employed was a Biacore optical instrument based on surface plasmon resonance. 5-O-succinoylivermectin-apo-transferrin conjugate was used to produce monoclonal antibody while a second derivative, ivermectin-oxime, was immobilised onto the surface of a sensor chip. A range of assay parameters (flow rate, injection time, temperature) and extraction techniques were investigated. In the final assay procedure, ivermectin was extracted with acetonitrile followed by C(8) SPE clean-up. Matrix effect was minimised by increasing the flow rate to 25 microl min(-1) and reducing the sample injection time to 2 min. The average value for liver samples spiked at 100 ng g(-1) (the MRL for the drug) and 50 ng g(-1) concentrations were 93.7 and 43.2 ng g(-1), respectively.

Abstract
Avermectins are frequently used to control parasitic infestations in many animal species. Previous studies have shown the long-term persistence of unwanted residues of these drugs in animal tissues and fluids. An immunoassay screening test for the detection and quantification of ivermectin residues in bovine milk has been developed. After an extensive extraction procedure, milk samples were applied to a competitive dissociation-enhanced lanthanide fluoroimmunoassay using a monoclonal antibody against an ivermectin-transferrin conjugate. The monoclonal antibody, raised in Balb C mice, showed cross-reactivity with eprinomectin (92%), abamectin (82%) and doramectin (16%). The limit of detection of the assay (mean + 3 SD), calculated from the analysis of 17 known negative samples, was calculated as 4.6 ng/mL. Intra- and inter-assay RSDs were determined as 11.6% and 15.8%, respectively, using a negative bovine milk sample fortified with 25 ng/mL ivermectin. Six Friesian milking cows were treated with ivermectin, three with a pour-on formulation of the drug and three with an injectable solution at the manufacturer's recommended dose rate. An initial mean peak in ivermectin residue concentration was detected at day 4 (mean level = 47.5 ng/mL) and day 5 post-treatment (mean level = 26.4 ng/mL) with the injectable form and pour-on treatment, respectively. A second peak in residue concentration was observed using the DELFIA procedure 28 days post-treatment in both treatment groups (23.1 ng/mL injectable and 51.9 ng/mL pour-on). These second peaks were not confirmed by HPLC and must at this time be considered to be false-positive results. By day 35 after treatment the mean ivermectin residue concentration of both groups fell below the limit of detection of the assay.

Abstract
Lepeophtheirus salmonis and Caligus elongatus are the two common species of sealice responsible for serious disease problems in salmonid aquaculture. L. salmonis in particular is the most serious parasitic infection on Atlantic salmon farms in the Northern Hemisphere and is the best-known species. This review examines the voluminous literature on the biology and control of sealice and brings together ideas for developing our knowledge of these organisms. Research on the distribution, host range, structure, life cycle, epidemiology, laboratory maintenance, reproductive biology, physiology and pathogenesis is reviewed in depth. The control strategy and economic cost to the industry is discussed. The interactions between wild and cultured salmonids are examined.

Abstract
Immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC) and affinity chromatography (AC) are widely used for extraction of drugs from biological samples. Fifteen column types were purchased from five different manufacturers and their ability to bind specific drugs including beta-agonists and anabolic steroids over a range of analyte concentrations in fortified bovine urine samples was assessed. The performance data obtained from these columns were compared with columns produced in this laboratory (in house columns). The in house columns gave the highest recoveries, ranging from 92 to 100% at the 1 ng spiking concentration, for five of the seven analytes assessed. Forty percent (11 of 27) of all the commercial column assessments recorded recoveries of less than 50% even when the lowest spiking concentration was applied (1 ng). For one manufacturer, only one of seven different columns purchased delivered extraction efficiencies greater than 50%. The extraction efficiencies of the clenbuterol columns were the highest with all commercially prepared columns showing at least 50% binding of radiolabelled tracer. Recoveries of alpha-nortestosterone were the lowest. The variability of these products with respect to quality control requires constant monitoring.
