Abstract :

[en] From 2004 until 2016, 21 Père David’s deer (Elaphurus davidianus) have died for unknown reason at Zoo Duisburg. Hypoglycin A and MCPA-carnitine were found in the blood of Père David’s deer and thus, hypoglycin A intoxication was considered to be a poten-tial cause for the myopathies by ingestion of sycamore maple samaras that were present in the enclosure of the affected animals.

Commentary :

De 2004 à 2016, 21 cerfs du Père David (Elaphurus davidianus) sont morts pour une raison inconnue au Zoo de Duisburg. L'hypoglycine A et la MCPA-carnitine ont été retrouvées dans le sang du cerf du Père David et l'intoxication à l'hypoglycine A a été considérée comme une cause potentielle de myopathies par ingestion de samares d'érables sycomores présents dans l'enclos des animaux atteints.
