Identical Ciguatoxin-3C group profiles in Lutjanus bohar from the Pacific and Indian Oceans - indicating the need to re-evaluate geographical CTX classifications

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Ciguatoxins (CTXs) are a group of marine biotoxins, consisting of over 30 different congeners that can contaminate marine food webs. Generally, the molecular structures among the known congeners are variable by geographical region (i.e., ocean basin) and

Transcriptomic Analysis of Ciguatoxin-Induced Changes in Gene Expression in Primary Cultures of Mice Cortical Neurons

Toxins, 2018
Ciguatoxins are polyether marine toxins that act as sodium channel activators. These toxins cause ciguatera, one of the most widespread nonbacterial forms of food poisoning, which presents several symptoms in humans including long-term neurological ...

Experimental Evidence of Ciguatoxin Accumulation and Depuration in Carnivorous Lionfish

Toxins, 2021
Ciguatera poisoning is a food intoxication associated with the consumption of fish or shellfish contaminated, through trophic transfer, with ciguatoxins (CTXs). In this study, we developed an experimental model to assess the trophic transfer of CTXs from

Extraction and LC-MS/MS Analysis of Ciguatoxins: A Semi-Targeted Approach Designed for Fish of Unknown Origin

Toxins, 2021
Ciguatoxins (CTXs) are polyether marine biotoxins that can cause ciguatera poisoning (CP) after the consumption of fish or invertebrates containing sub ppb levels; concentrations that present a challenge for current extraction and analysis methods. Here,

Ciguatoxins and Maitotoxins in Extracts of Sixteen Gambierdiscus Isolates and One Fukuyoa Isolate from the South Pacific and Their Toxicity to Mice by Intraperitoneal and Oral Administration

Marine Drugs, 2017
Ciguatoxins (CTXs), and possibly maitotoxins (MTXs), are responsible for Ciguatera Fish Poisoning, an important health problem for consumers of reef fish (such as inhabitants of islands in the South Pacific Ocean).
