A Perspective on Removal of Cyanotoxins from Water Through Advanced Oxidation Processes
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.

Ciguatera fish poisoning in Brazilian traveler to Caribbean
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 Strategic Framework for Community Engagement in Oceans and Human Health
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
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

Abstract Tetrodotoxins (TTXs) are a group of potent neurotoxins named after the Tetraodontidae fish family (pufferfish). TTXs have been reported in several animal taxa, both terrestrial and marine. The ingestion of TTX‐contaminated flesh can cause serious neurotoxic symptomatology and can eventually lead to death.

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 ...

Identification of ciguatoxins in a shark involved in a fatal food poisoning in the Indian Ocean
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.
