Laboratory analysis of liver tissue and cells from mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) after oral exposure to microcystin-LR, 2021

With mortalities of avian wildlife sometimes inferred to be associated with exposure to harmful algal bloom events, the need for clarifying diagnostic parameters for helping to justify case diagnoses is needed. Hence, adult female mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) were exposed to a controlled administration of microcystin-LR, and their liver cells were studied for biomarkers of exposure and effect by using flow cytometric and microscopic methods, and an enzyme assay.
