to gestation day 28 (Thorpe et al., 1971b). Severe toxicity and mortality were observed after the 6th day of exposure in the 6.25 ug/L (3.25 mg/kg-day) group. Cholinergic signs observed included anorexia, lethargy, muscular tremors, mucous nasal discharges, and diarrhea. Severely affected rabbits were prone with heads turned to one side. Sixteen of 20 does died or were killed because of intoxication. In the second experiment by Thorpe et al. (1971b), Dutch rabbits (20/group) were exposed to DDVP (0 to 4 ug/L, equivalent to 0 to 2.0 mg/kg-day) by inhalation. One doe in the 2 ug/L (1.0 mg/kg-day) group died after 2-3 days of exposure. Six does of the 4 ug/L group died or were killed because severe cholinergic signs. 19
