To date, most data about the possible genotoxic effect of triazole pesticides are focused on laboratory animals resulting in limited information on further non-target organisms such as cattle. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of triazole (tebuconazole/prothioconazole) fungicide formulation on the induction of chromosomal aberrations (CAs), sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and DNA fragmentation in bovine cultured lymphocytes. Our results showed that the fungicide formulation did not induce significant number of CAs in bovine cells after 24h treatment. Nevertheless, the dose-dependent reduction of mitotic division was observed, with the strongest effect at 30.0g mL(-1) in both donors (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively). Prolonged 48h exposure caused the increased level of breaks in treated cultures (3.0-15.0g mL(-1); P < 0.05) and significant decrease in mitotic index (MI). The tested fungicide failed to produce any statistical changes in the SCE frequency neither after 24h nor 48h treatment. However, the significant decline of the proliferation index (PI) was observed after 24h indicating the fungicide influence on cell cycle kinetics. Prolonged 48h exposure caused cytotoxicity reflecting in lower PI value relative to control mainly at the highest fungicide concentrations (30.0g mL(-1), P < 0.001). Using painting probes for bovine chromosomes 1, 5 and 7 (BTA1, BTA5 and BTA7) only low levels of aneuploidies were detected. Significant increase of polyploidy cells (P < 0.05) was induced by a 3.0g mL(-1) dose of the fungicide after 48h. DNA fragmentation assay didn't reveal the presence of DNA nucleosome ladder in cell cultures at any time (24h and 48h) and fungicide concentration.
