A descriptive study of ciguatera fish poisoning in Cook Islands dogs and cats: Demographic, temporal, and spatial distribution of cases [PDF]
Background and Aim: Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is the most common form of seafood toxicosis reported in humans worldwide. Dogs and cats are also susceptible to CFP, but there is little published and much unknown about the condition in these species ...

This review elucidates the molecular mechanisms of algicidal bacteria, highlighting critical behaviours like chemotaxis, quorum sensing and extracellular vesicle release. It details how these actions disrupt algal cellular integrity, photosynthesis and calcium homeostasis, providing a theoretical foundation for controlling harmful algal blooms ...

Dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Gambierdiscus produce ciguatoxins (CTXs), which are metabolized in fish to more toxic forms and subsequently cause ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) in humans. Five species of Gambierdiscus have been described from the

CIGUATERA POISONING IN VANUATU
Ciguatera poisoning is endemic in many tropical and subtropical countries. We conducted a retrospective study of admissions to two hospitals on the islands of Vanuatu in the southwestern Pacific region. We estimated the annual hospital admission rate for fish poisoning to be 65 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 55–75)/100,000 population on the island of ...

Ciguatera fish poisoning [PDF]
SummaryCiguatera fish poisoning is one of a variety of non-bacterial forms of human seafood poisoning. Consuming large predatory fish from tropical reef ecosystems may be hazardous. We describe a case that is typical of the disease, and illustrates the persistence of neurological symptoms that occur in some patients.

ABSTRACT This retrospective analysis explores how historical fishing activity (1948–2009) at French Frigate Shoals (FFS) can be examined in relation to the foraging ecology of Hawaiian monk seals. We bring together fisheries catch records, monk seal demographic information, and ecological studies on prey, competitors, and predators to evaluate ...

Foodborne Hazards and Novel Technologies in Ready‐to‐Eat Crustaceans
Biological hazards, including Listeria monocytogenes, norovirus, Salmonella, and Vibrio spp., and chemical hazards, including heavy metals, biotoxins, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, are of great concern regarding crustaceans and their consumption.
