Resumen:
We compared some hematological parameters and values of plasma cholinesterase activityin adult Bufo arenarum from a control site and agricultural sites. The mean values of the plasmacholinesterase activity did not vary among toads collected in pristine forest and agricultural sites. Theblood parameters (hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, white blood cells, and heterophils) fromagricultural sites differed from the control site. The results suggest a high pesticide impact fromintensive cropping in mid-eastern Santa Fe Province of Argentina.
