Co-occurrence of marine and freshwater phycotoxins in oysters, and analysis of possible predictors for management [PDF]
Toxicon: X, 2023 Oysters (Crassostrea virginica) were screened for 12 phycotoxins over two years in nearshore waters to collect baseline phycotoxin data and to determine prevalence of phycotoxin co-occurrence in the commercially and ecologically-relevant species.

High Affinity Aptamers and Their Specificity for Azaspiracid-2 Using Capture-SELEX [PDF]
Marine DrugsAzaspiracids are a type of polyether toxin. Currently, the existing detection methods for azaspiracids all have certain drawbacks. Aptamers offer a cost-effective and convenient approach for the detection of azaspiracids.

The Bayesian β-binomial model to improve the inference based on the results of sampling plans: the case study of the biotoxin monitoring plan of Chamelea gallina natural beds [PDF]
Italian Journal of Food SafetySampling is a cornerstone of food safety monitoring, yet traditional frequentist approaches can yield unreliable inferences in the presence of rare or absent events, particularly when maximum likelihood estimates lie on the boundary of the parameter ...
