(Plantas tóxicas que afetam o sistema nervoso de ruminantes e equinos no Brasil).h[electronic resource]  c2017  aArticle history: Received 11 May 2017 // Accepted 14 May 2017  aAbstract: This review updates information about neurotoxic plants affecting ruminants and equidae in Brazil. Currently in the country, there are at least 131 toxic plants belonging to 79 genera. Thirty one of these poisonous plants affect the nervous system. Swainsonine-containing plants (Ipomoea spp., Turbina cordata and Sida carpinifolia) cause numerous outbreaks of poisoning, mainly in goats, but cattle and horses are occasionally affected. The poisoning by Ipomoea asarifolia, a tremorgenic plant, is very common in sheep, goats and cattle in the Northeastern region and in the Marajo island. Poisoning by the pods of Prosopis juliflora are frequent in cattle in Northeastern Brazil; occasionally this poisoning affects goats and more rarely sheep. Some poisonings by plants, such as Hybanthus calceolaria, Ipomoea marcellia and Talisia esculenta in ruminants and Indigofera lespedezioides in horses were recently described and needs to be accurately investigated about its occurrence and importance. Other plants poisonings causing nervous signs in ruminants and equidae are less important, but should be considered for the differential diagnosis of neurologic diseases.  aBRASIL  aEQUINOS  aPLANTAS TOXICAS  aRUMIANTES  aSISTEMA NERVIOSO  aEQUINES  aPLANT POISONING  aPLATAFORMA SALUD ANIMAL  aPOISONOUS PLANTS  aTOXIC PLANT1 aMEDEIROS, R.
