| Description | There are reports on avian wildlife mortalities attributed to cyanotoxins. Our recent study with Japanese quail showed no mortality despite significant biochemical, histopathological and subcellular signs of hepatic damage and induction of oxidative stress along with accumulation of mictocyctins. These present study therefore tested the hypothesis that under natural conditions co-exposure to multiple stressors may enhance avian mortality. |
