New study is first to find exposure to neurotoxic rodenticide bromethalin in birds of prey

Tufts Wildlife Clinic Director, Maureen Murray, V03, reveals a disturbing trend in her latest study: red-tailed hawks and other birds of prey are being exposed to a new type of rodenticide called bromethalin. The study builds on her previous findings that 100% of red-tailed hawks tested positive for anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs), and now uncovers the bioaccumulation of bromethalin in these majestic birds. The implications of this exposure, coupled with the ongoing risks of ARs, raise urgent concerns about avian health and prompt the need for further research and protective measures.Meta Tag Description: A concerning study shows that birds of prey, including red-tailed hawks, are being exposed to a neurotoxicant rodenticide called bromethalin, in addition to anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs). Learn how this discovery adds to the growing concerns of antimicrobial resistance and wildlife health. Urgent action is needed to protect these majestic birds and evaluate mitigation efforts.

AI software can provide ‘roadmap’ for biological discoveries

Predicting a protein’s location within a cell can help researchers unlock a plethora of biological information that’s critical for developing future scientific discoveries related to drug development and treating diseases like epilepsy. That’s because proteins are the body’s “workhorses,” largely responsible for most cellular functions.
