Evaluation of the Impact of Mild Steaming and Heat Treatment on the Concentration of Okadaic Acid, Dinophysistoxin-2 and Dinophysistoxin-3 in Mussels [PDF]
This study explores the effect of laboratory and industrial steaming on mussels with toxin concentrations above and below the legal limit. We used mild conditions for steaming, 100 °C for 5 min in industrial processing, and up to 20 min in small-scale ...

Excretion Routes of Okadaic Acid and Dinophysistoxin-2 from Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and Cockles (Cerastoderma edule) [PDF]
The knowledge of the routes of excretion of the toxins accumulated by molluscs is a key step in designing methods that accelerate depuration. In this work, the excretion route, in mussels and cockles, of the main diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP ...

DSP Toxin Distribution across Organs in Mice after Acute Oral Administration [PDF]
Okadaic acid (OA) and its main structural analogs dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX1) and dinophysistoxin-2 (DTX2) are marine lipophilic phycotoxins distributed worldwide that can be accumulated by edible shellfish and can cause diarrheic shellfish poisoning (DSP).

A Dinophysistoxin 2-like Okadaic Acid Isomer Present in Bivalves and Water Column: Temporal and Spatial Distribution in the Northwest Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
A previously overlooked isomer of okadaic acid (OA), which is structurally related to dinophysistoxin-2 (DTX2), was identified in bivalves and water columns from the Northwest Iberian Peninsula.

Effects of Dinoflagellate Toxins Okadaic Acid and Dinophysistoxin-1 and -2 on the Microcrustacean Artemia franciscana [PDF]
Harmful algal blooms are an expanding phenomenon negatively impacting human health, socio-economic welfare, and ecosystems. Such events increase the risk of marine organisms’ exposure to algal toxins with consequent ecological effects. In this frame, the

Dissolved Algal Toxins along the Southern Coast of British Columbia Canada [PDF]
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in coastal British Columbia (BC), Canada, negatively impact the salmon aquaculture industry. One disease of interest to salmon aquaculture is Net Pen Liver Disease (NPLD), which induces severe liver damage and is believed to ...

Differences in Toxic Response Induced by Three Variants of the Diarrheic Shellfish Poisoning Phycotoxins in Human Intestinal Epithelial Caco-2 Cells [PDF]
Diarrheic shellfish poisoning (DSP) is caused by the consumption of shellfish contaminated with a group of phycotoxins that includes okadaic acid (OA), dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX-1), and dinophysistoxin-2 (DTX-2).

Co-occurrence of marine and freshwater phycotoxins in oysters, and analysis of possible predictors for management [PDF]
Oysters (Crassostrea virginica) were screened for 12 phycotoxins over two years in nearshore waters to collect baseline phycotoxin data and to determine prevalence of phycotoxin co-occurrence in the commercially and ecologically-relevant species.
