CIGUATERA POISONING IN VANUATU
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2003 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 ...

A phylogenetic re-analysis of groupers with applications for ciguatera fish poisoning. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BackgroundCiguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is a significant public health problem due to dinoflagellates. It is responsible for one of the highest reported incidence of seafood-borne illness and Groupers are commonly reported as a source of CFP due to ...

Ciguatera fish poisoning [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1999 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.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.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 ...

Toxins, 2019 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

Marine Drugs, 2023 Tropical epibenthic dinoflagellate communities produce a plethora of bioactive secondary metabolites, including the toxins ciguatoxins (CTXs) and potentially gambierones, that can contaminate fishes, leading to ciguatera poisoning (CP) when consumed by ...

A descriptive study of ciguatera fish poisoning in Cook Islands dogs and cats: Demographic, temporal, and spatial distribution of cases [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2020 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 ...
