Comparison of LC-MS methods for the quantitation of ciguatoxins in fish – A collaborative study [PDF]
Food Chemistry: XCiguatoxins (CTXs) are marine biotoxins that can contaminate seafood and if consumed can result in ciguatera poisoning (CP). The analysis of CTXs is challenging, as they occur in complex tissue matrices, cause CP symptoms at trace amounts (

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is one of the most frequently reported seafood poisoning diseases. It is endemic to the tropical region and occurs most commonly in the regions around the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Caribbean Sea. The principal toxins

Rationally Designed Synthetic Haptens to Generate Anti-Ciguatoxin Monoclonal Antibodies, and Development of a Practical Sandwich ELISA to Detect Ciguatoxins [PDF]
Toxins, 2019 “Ciguatera” fish poisoning (CFP) is one of the well-known food poisoning caused by the ingestion of fish that have accumulated trace amounts of ciguatoxins (CTXs). CFP affects more than 50,000 individuals annually.

Model of the Origin of a Ciguatoxic Grouper (Plectropomus leopardus) [PDF]
Toxins, 2023 Published data were used to model the transfer of ciguatoxins (CTX) across three trophic levels of a marine food chain on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia, to produce a mildly toxic common coral trout (Plectropomus leopardus), one of the most ...

Origin of Ciguateric Fish: Quantitative Modelling of the Flow of Ciguatoxin through a Marine Food Chain [PDF]
Toxins, 2022 To begin to understand the impact of food chain dynamics on ciguatera risk, we used published data to model the transfer of ciguatoxins across four trophic levels of a marine food chain in Platypus Bay, Australia.

Quantification of Representative Ciguatoxins in the Pacific Using Quantitative Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2017 The absolute quantification of five toxins involved in ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) in the Pacific was carried out by quantitative 1H-NMR. The targeted toxins were ciguatoxin-1B (CTX1B), 52-epi-54-deoxyciguatoxin-1B (epideoxyCTX1B), ciguatoxin-3C ...
