Veröffentlichung Effects of anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning on spatial behavior of farm dwelling Norway rats(2021) Walther, Bernd; Ennen, Hendrik; Geduhn, Anke; Schlötelburg, AnnikaCommensal rodent species cause damage to crops and stored products, they transmit pathogens to people, live-stock and pets and threaten nativeflora and fauna. Tominimize such adverse effects, commensal rodentsare pre-dominantly managed with anticoagulant rodenticides (AR) that can be transferred along the food chain. Wetested the effect of the uptake of the AR brodifacoum (BR) by Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) on spatial behaviorbecause this helps to assess the availability of dead rats and residual BR to predators and scavengers. BR was de-livered by oral gavage or free-fed bait presented in bait stations. Rats were radio-collared to monitor spatial be-havior. BR residues in rat liver tissue were analyzed using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem massspectrometry. Norway rats that had consumed BR decreased distances moved and had reduced home rangesize. Treatment effects on spatial behavior seemed to set in rapidly. However, there was no effect on habitat pref-erence. Ninety-two percent of rats that succumbed to BR died in well-hidden locations, where removal by scav-enging birds and large mammalian scavengers is unlikely. Rats that ingested bait from bait stations had 65% higher residue concentrations than rats that died from dosing with two-fold LD50.Thissuggestsanoverdosingin rats that are managed with 0.0025% BR. None of the 70 BR-loaded rats was caught/removed by wild preda-tors/scavengers before collection of carcasses within 5-29 h. Therefore, and because almost all dead rats diedin well-hidden locations, they do not seem to pose a significant risk of AR exposure to large predators/scavengers at livestock farms. Exposure of large predators may originate from AR-poisoned non-target small mammals. Thefew rats that died in the open are accessible and should be removed in routine searches during and after the ap-plication of AR bait to minimize transfer of AR into the wider environment. © 2021 The Authors.

Exposure can be primary when non-target species consume bait or secondary via uptake of poisoned animals by mammalian and avian predators. However, nothing is known about the exposure patterns in passerine birds that are commonly present on farms where rodent control is conducted. We used liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry to screen for residues of anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) in liver tissue of passerine birds that were present during rodent control with a product containing brodifacoum (BR). The 222 birds of 13 species were bycatch of rodent snap trapping in 2011-2013 on 11 livestock farms run synchronously with baiting. During baiting, ARs were detected in about 30% of birds; 28% carried BR. In liver tissue of 54 birds that carried BR, concentrations ranged from 4 to 7809 ng/g (mean 490 +/- 169 ng/g). Among common bird species with AR residues, BR was most prevalent in robins (Erithacus rubecula) (44%) and dunnocks (Prunella modularis) (41%). Mean BR concentration was highest in great tits (Parus major) (902 +/- 405 ng/g). The occurrence and concentrations of BR residues were about 30% higher in birds collected close to bait stations compared to birds collected further away. The results demonstrate that several ground feeding songbird species are exposed to ARs used on farms. If BR was present in liver tissue, concentrations were variable, which may imply a combination of primary and secondary exposure of songbirds. Exposure was mostly restricted to the immediate surroundings of farms where bait was used, which might limit the transfer to the wider environment. Efforts should be made to reduce the access for birds to AR bait to prevent high exposure. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.Veröffentlichung Testing animal welfare of house mouse (Mus musculus) snap and electrocution traps(2022) Dymke, Deborah; Fleischer, Samantha; Geduhn, Anke; Kalle, Agnes; Schlötelburg, Annika; Schmolz, ErikThe use of killing traps for rodent pest control is currently gaining relevance again but there is no approval or authorization process for rodent traps in most countries. Hence, a guidance for testing and evaluating animal welfare impact was recently published by the expert group on "Non-Chemical alternatives for Rodent control" (NoCheRo). Using the NoCheRo- Guidance, we investigated the animal welfare impact of 10 different house mouse (Mus musculus) killing trap products in a semi-natural setting. All 10 trap products were attractive to the target mice because >/= 90% of them visited the traps at least once within a few days; in 5 tests, >/= 90% approached traps on the 1st day. Two electrocution trap products and 3 of 8 (37.5%) snap trap products met the animal welfare criteria. Most (95%) of the test animals caught with criteria-compliant traps were irreversibly unconscious within 50 sec; 90% within 30 sec. The majority (97 %) of house mice were rapidly unconscious when hit in the head/neck region by a snap trap. Five trap products were not in compliance with the animal welfare criteria. The results show that the NoCheRo-Guidance enables a distinction between rodent traps that meet the criteria for animal welfare and those that are deficient in this respect. Certification of such tested traps based on a sound scientific basis allows for a selection of suitable traps, and thus improve animal welfare in pest rodent control. © 2022 by the authorsVeröffentlichung Baiting location affects anticoagulant rodenticide exposure of non-target small mammals on farms(2020) Walther, Bernd; Geduhn, Anke; Schenke, Detlef; Schlötelburg, AnnikaBACKGROUND Commensal rodents such as Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus Berk.), black rats (R. rattus L.) and house mice (Mus musculus L.) damage stored produce and infrastructure, cause hygienic problems and transmit zoonotic pathogens to humans. The management of commensal rodents relies mainly on the use of anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs). ARs are persistent and bioâ€Ìaccumulative, which can cause exposure of nonâ€Ìtarget species. We compared the baiting strategies to use brodifacoum (BR) in bait boxes indoors only versus in and around buildings in replicated field trials at livestock farms to assess resulting BR residues in nonâ€Ìtarget small mammals. RESULTS When bait was used indoors only, the percentage of trapped nonâ€Ìtarget small mammals with BR residues as well as BR concentration in liver tissue was about 50% lower in comparison to bait application in and around buildings. These effects occurred in murid rodents and shrews but not in voles that were generally only mildly exposed. During the baiting period, BR concentration in murids was stable but decreased by about 50% in shrews. CONCLUSION Restricting the application of BR bait to indoors only can reduce exposure of nonâ€Ìtarget species. The positive effect of this baiting strategy on nonâ€Ìtarget species needs to be balanced with the need for an effective pest rodent management within a reasonable time. More research is needed to clarify which management approaches strike this balance best. © 2020 The AuthorsVeröffentlichung Gute fachliche Anwendung von Nagetierbekämpfungsmitteln(2018) Friesen, Anton; Geduhn, Anke; Hein, Susanne; Jahn, Barbara; Kehrer, Anja; Riedhammer, Caroline; Schmolz, Eric; Schwarz-Schulz, Beatrice; Deutschland.

Fachgebiet IV.1.2 - BiozideVeröffentlichung Rating the risks of anticoagulant rodenticides in the aquatic environment(2018) Regnery, Julia; Friesen, Anton; Geduhn, Anke; Petersohn, Eleonora; Schmolz, ErikAnticoagulant rodenticides are used worldwide to control commensal rodents for hygienic and public health reasons. As anticoagulants act on all vertebrates, risk is high for unintentional poisoning of terrestrial and aquatic wildlife. Causative associations have been demonstrated for the unintended poisoning of terrestrial nontarget organisms. However, behavior and fate of anticoagulant rodenticides in the aquatic environment have received minimal attention in the past despite considerable acute toxicity of several anticoagulants to aquatic species such as fish. In light of recent regulatory developments in the European Union concerning rodenticides, we critically review available information on the environmental occurrence, fate, and impact of anticoagulant rodenticides in the aquatic environment and identify potential risks and routes of exposure as well as further research needs. Recent findings of anticoagulant rodenticides in raw and treated wastewater, sewage sludge, estuarine sediments, suspended particulate matter, and liver tissue of freshwater fish in the low ng/L and Ìg/kg range, respectively, demonstrate that the aquatic environment experiences a greater risk of anticoagulant rodenticide exposure than previously thought. While the anticoagulant's mechanism of action from the molecular through cellular levels is well understood, substantial data gaps exist regarding the understanding of exposure pathways and potential adverse effects of chronic exposure with multiple active ingredients. Anticoagulants accumulating in aquatic wildlife are likely to be transferred in the food chain, causing potentially serious consequences for the health of wildlife and humans alike. © 2018, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Veröffentlichung Den Klimawandel gesundheitlich meistern!(2020) Bunz, Maxie; Geduhn, Anke; Habedank, Birgit; Höflich, Conny; Kuhn, Carola; Mücke, Hans-Guido; Szewzyk, Regine; Deutschland.
