Changes recorded in cardiac graphoelements of bees (apis mellifera) during contact with fipronil

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors assessed the cardiac activity as a biomarker fipronil intoxication through electrophysiological recordings Eighteen foragers from the apiary EMBRAPA-Eastern Amazon were previously anesthetized at low temperature (- 10 °C) for 5 min and properly restrained and fixed on a stereotaxic base where electrodes were implanted. In view of the scarcity of Articles elucidating these mechanisms, which remain obscure, the aim of this article was to describe the effect of fipronil on the cardiac activity of Apis mellifera foragers, evaluating the underlying mechanisms that may alter cardiac recordings.
