Domoic Acid and Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning - A Review
Journal of Food Protection, 1993 A new type of seafood toxicity, called amnesic shellfish poisoning, was described from 107 human cases after individuals consumed mussels containing domoic acid harvested from Prince Edward Island, Canada, in 1987. Most of these cases experienced gastroenteritis, and many older persons or others with underlying chronic illnesses developed neurologic ...

Toxic Effects and Tumor Promotion Activity of Marine Phytoplankton Toxins: A Review
Toxins, 2022 Phytoplankton are photosynthetic microorganisms in aquatic environments that produce many bioactive substances. However, some of them are toxic to aquatic organisms via filter-feeding and are even poisonous to humans through the food chain.

Human shellfish poisoning: Implementation of a national surveillance program in France
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Toxic algae and their toxins represent an emerging public health issue, particularly due to global warming. The toxicological mechanisms of neurotoxic phycotoxins and their human health effects have been widely described (paralytic, neurological, amnesic,
