Demyelination chemical-induced

Delayed neurotoxicity results from degeneration of the axons followed by demyelination (14,15,23). Clinical manifestation includes sensory disturbances, ataxia, weakness, muscle twitching and, in severe cases, complete flaccid paralysis ( 15). A fair number of organophosphate compounds are capable of inducing delayed neurotoxicity. Of the 250 organophosphates (not all pesticides) tested for delayed neurotoxicity in chickens, 47% (117 chemicals) showed positive responses (23). Notable examples of pesticides which possess this neurotoxicity are leptophos, EPN, merphos, dichlorvos, and... [Pg.24]
