Ciguatera is a form of poisoning that occurs after eating tropical and subtropical ciguatoxic fish. The ciguatoxins are a family of heat stable, lipid soluble cyclic polyether compounds that bind to and open voltage-sensitive Na+channels at resting membrane potential, resulting in neural hyperexcitability, as well as swelling of the nodes of Ranvier ...

Summary Ciguatera is, on a world-wide scale, the commonest of the four broad classes of ichthyosarcotoxism currently described. The disease is contracted by the consumption of toxic flesh from any of many fish species which are usually safe foodstuff.

Ciguatera is a disease caused by the consumption of fishes from tropical and subtropical waters that have accumulated lipophilic sodium channel activator toxins known as ciguatoxins (CTXs) to levels sufficient to cause human poisoning. Consumption of these temperature-stable, orally active polycyclic ether compounds leads to the activation of neuronal ...

Ciguatera poisoning is the most common foodborne illness caused by a chemical toxin in the United States and is endemic in the Caribbean and Indo-Pacific. Ciguatoxin, produced by a marine dinoflagellate that attaches to algae, is passed up the food chain to large fish and, finally, to humans. The toxin has anticholinesterase activity.

Ciguatera fish poisoning is probably more important than any other form of seafood poisoning. Its epidemiology is complex and it is impossible to predict outbreaks. Toxic fish (which look, taste and smell normal) contain ciguatoxins derived from microalgae via the food chain.

THE tropical fish poisoning known as ‘ciguatera’, which is clearly different from the well-documented tetraodon poisoning, has long been known in the Pacific. Its narrow regional appearance and its variability within a given species of marine fish have been puzzling phenomena.

A traveler who vacationed in the Bahama islands became ill from ciguatera toxin, a poisoning acquired from ingestion of certain fish caught in tropical waters. The mild gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms of this poisoning lasted only a few hours, but the neurologic symptoms persisted for several weeks until medical care was eventually sought far from the ...

The increased harvesting of tropical marine resources has contributed to an increased incidence of human intoxication associated with fish consumption. Of these fish poisonings, ciguatera is arguably the most significant, both in terms of the number and the severity of poisoning episodes.
