Gambierdiscus and Its Associated Toxins: A Minireview [PDF]
Toxins, 2022 Gambierdiscus is a dinoflagellate genus widely distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions. Some members of this genus can produce a group of potent polycyclic polyether neurotoxins responsible for ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP), one of the ...

Ciguatoxin-Producing Dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus in the Beibu Gulf: First Report of Toxic Gambierdiscus in Chinese Waters [PDF]
Toxins, 2021 Ciguatera poisoning is mainly caused by the consumption of reef fish that have accumulated ciguatoxins (CTXs) produced by the benthic dinoflagellates Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa.

Influence of Environmental Variables on Gambierdiscus spp. (Dinophyceae) Growth and Distribution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Benthic dinoflagellates in the genus Gambierdiscus produce the ciguatoxin precursors responsible for the occurrence of ciguatera toxicity. The prevalence of ciguatera toxins in fish has been linked to the presence and distribution of toxin-producing ...

Molecular Identification of Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa (Dinophyceae) from Environmental Samples [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2017 Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CFP) is increasing across the Pacific and the distribution of the causative dinoflagellates appears to be expanding. Subtle differences in thecal plate morphology are used to distinguish dinoflagellate species, which are ...

Alternative method to detect compounds produced by Gambierdiscus spp.
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014 Ciguatoxins (CTXs) and CTX precursors are produced by several Gambierdiscus spp. These polyether toxins are associated to ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP). In addition to CTX, maitotoxins (MTX) and gambierol are also produced by these dinoflagellates.
