Airborne Cyanobacterial Toxins and Their Links to Neurodegenerative Diseases [PDF]
MoleculesCyanobacteria can produce a wide range of toxins which have acute and chronic adverse health effects. Affecting a variety of mammalian systems, they are generally characterized according to their mode of action and the organs affected.

Human Illnesses and Animal Deaths Associated with Freshwater Harmful Algal Blooms—Kansas [PDF]
Toxins, 2015 Freshwater harmful algal bloom (FHAB) toxins can cause morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, and the incidence of FHABs in the United States and Kansas has increased. In 2010, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) developed

Chemical and Morphological Constitutive Defensive Traits of Cyanobacteria Have Different Effects on the Grazing of a Small Tropical Cladoceran [PDF]
ToxinsAntipredator defenses of bloom-forming cyanobacteria species maximize their fitness but can reduce carbon and energy transfer efficiency to higher trophic levels, making them a key regulator of plankton communities in eutrophic waters.

Recent Advances in Cyanobacterial Cytotoxin Biosensors Focused on Cylindrospermopsin
Chemosensors, 2023 Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a freshwater algal toxin produced during the proliferation of harmful cyanobacteria, known as cyanobacterial algal blooms (cyano-HABs). Recently, the effects of global warming have facilitated the growth of cyano-HABs, leading
