Human Illnesses and Animal Deaths Associated with Freshwater Harmful Algal Blooms—Kansas [PDF]
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

Impact of Environmental Factors on the Regulation of Cyanotoxin Production
Cyanobacteria are capable of thriving in almost all environments. Recent changes in climatic conditions due to increased human activities favor the occurrence and severity of harmful cyanobacterial bloom all over the world. Knowledge of the regulation of
