MultiBarcodeTools: Easy selection of optimal primers for eDNA multi‐metabarcoding
Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1793-1808, November 2023., 2023 Metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) is a revolutionary technique for monitoring of ecosystems, but no single primer can amplify and discriminate all species in any environment. We developed MultiBarcodeTools, which automatically recommend the optimal combination of fish eDNA multi‐metabarcoding primers.

Ciguatera fish poisoning in Brazilian traveler to Caribbean
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019 Ciguatera poisoning is the most common form of non-bacterial food-poisoning from fish worldwide. The incidence among Brazilians returning from high-risk regions is unclear because it is not a mandatory reportable disease. We describe a previously healthy

A Perspective on Removal of Cyanotoxins from Water Through Advanced Oxidation Processes
Global Challenges, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 Sulfate radical‐based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) excel in cyanotoxin removal. Their high reactivity efficiently degrades diverse cyanotoxins, ensuring safe water quality. Their versatility and effectiveness make them the most suitable AOPs and safeguard aquatic ecosystems and human health.

Epidemiology and Clinical Features of Ciguatera Fish Poisoning in Hong Kong
Toxins, 2014 In the present review, the main objective was to describe the epidemiology and clinical features of ciguatera fish poisoning in Hong Kong. From 1989 to 2008, the annual incidence of ciguatera varied between 3.3 and 64.9 (median 10.2) per million people.

A Strategic Framework for Community Engagement in Oceans and Human Health
Community Science, Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Over the past two decades, scientific research on the connections between the health and resilience of marine ecosystems and human health, well‐being, and community prosperity has expanded and evolved into a distinct “metadiscipline” known as Oceans and Human Health (OHH), recognized by the scientific community as well as policy makers.

Emergent marine toxins risk assessment using molecular and chemical approaches
EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue S1, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Cyanobacteria harmful blooms represent a deviation to the normal equilibrium in planktonic communities involving a rapid and uncontrolled growth. Owing to the capacity to produce toxins as secondary metabolites, cyanobacteria may cause huge economic losses in the fishing and aquaculture industries and poisoning incidents to humans due to their

Journal of Travel Medicine, 1995 Ciguatera poisoning is a worldwide problem associated with ingestion of certain toxin-containing fish. The disease was named after a turban-shelled snail known as "cigua" in the Spanish Antilles, which was mistakenly thought to be the cause of this disease.1 More than 200 species of fish have been implicated, the most common of which include grouper ...

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 ...

Identification of ciguatoxins in a shark involved in a fatal food poisoning in the Indian Ocean
Scientific Reports, 2017 Severe food poisoning events after the consumption of sharks have been reported since the 1940s; however, there has been no clear understanding of their cause. Herein, we report for the first time the presence of ciguatoxins (CTXs) in sharks.
