A disease characterized by ataxia, tremors and nystagmus had been observed in goats in Nicaragua. The main histologic lesions were loss and neuronal vacuolation of Purkinje cells and Wallerian-like degeneration mainly in the cerebellum, suggesting a glycoprotein storage disease. Ipomoea carnea and Ipomoea trifida found in the paddocks were negative for swainsonine, but contained calystegines at 0.02% and 0.06% suggesting that the disease was caused by these substances, which are competitive inhibitors of β-glucosidase and α-galactosidase activities. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd aCALYSTEGINES aGOAT aIPOMOEA CARNEA aIPOMOEA TRIFIDA aNICARAGUA aPOISONING1 aBALSEIRO, A.1 aJIRÓN, W.1 aPERALTA, A.1 aMUÑÓZ, D.1 aFAJARDO, J.1 aGAYO, E.1 aMARTÍNEZ, I.Z.1 aRIET-CORREA, F.1 aGARDNER, D.R.1 aGARCÍA MARÍN, J.F. tToxicon, January 2019, Volume 157, Pages 8-11.
