Critical Review and Conceptual and Quantitative Models for the Transfer and Depuration of Ciguatoxins in Fishes

Toxins, 2021
We review and develop conceptual models for the bio-transfer of ciguatoxins in food chains for Platypus Bay and the Great Barrier Reef on the east coast of Australia.

Fukuyoa paulensis gen. et sp. nov., a new genus for the globular species of the dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus (Dinophyceae).

PLoS ONE, 2015
The marine epiphytic dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus is a toxicologically important genus responsible for ciguatera fish poisoning, the principal cause of non-bacterial illness associated with fish consumption.

Epibenthic Harmful Marine Dinoflagellates from Fuerteventura (Canary Islands), with Special Reference to the Ciguatoxin-Producing Gambierdiscus

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
The relationship between the ciguatoxin-producer benthic dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus and other epibenthic dinoflagellates in the Canary Islands was examined in macrophyte samples obtained from two locations of Fuerteventura Island in September 2016. The

Global Mass Spectrometric Analysis Reveals Chemical Diversity of Secondary Metabolites and 44-Methylgambierone Production in Philippine Gambierdiscus Strains

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Surveillance and characterization of emerging marine toxins and toxigenic dinoflagellates are warranted to evaluate their associated health risks. Here, we report the occurrence of the ciguatera poisoning-causative dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus balechii ...

Sulfo-Gambierones, Two New Analogs of Gambierone Produced by Gambierdiscus excentricus

Marine Drugs, 2021
Ciguatera poisoning is caused by the ingestion of fish or shellfish contaminated with ciguatoxins produced by dinoflagellate species belonging to the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa. Unlike in the Pacific region, the species producing ciguatoxins in the

Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer: the evolution of a cancer syndrome

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 2636-2651, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC) is a high risk cancer syndrome caused predominantly by germline mutations in the CDH1 gene. HDGC is characterised by a lifetime risk of advanced diffuse‐type gastric (stomach) cancer of up to 70%, and an additional 40% lifetime risk of lobular breast cancer in women.

“Canary Islands (NE Atlantic) as a biodiversity ‘hotspot’ of Gambierdiscus : Implications for future trends of ciguatera in the area” [PDF]

, 2017
In the present study the geographical distribution, abundance and composition of Gambierdiscus was described over a 600 km longitudinal scale in the Canary Islands. Samples for cell counts, isolation and identification of Gambierdiscus were obtained from

Ciguatera Fish Poisoning: The Risk from an Aotearoa/New Zealand Perspective

Toxins, 2020
Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa species have been identified in Aotearoa/New Zealand’s coastal waters and G. polynesiensis, a known producer of ciguatoxins, has been isolated from Rangitāhua/Kermadec Islands (a New Zealand territory).

How Does Climate Change Influence the Regional Ecological–Social Risks of Harmful Dinoflagellates? A Predictive Study of China's Coastal Waters

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
Climate change is expected to shift the risks posed by harmful dinoflagellates in China's coastal waters. In this study, the ecological–social risk is assessed by considering both the potential presence of these algae and their overlap with coastal populations and mariculture areas.

Revisions to the Classification, Nomenclature, and Diversity of Eukaryotes

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 4-119, January/February 2019., 2019
Abstract This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk. Microbiol. 59(5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the resolution of many nodes in phylogenetic analyses. For some clades even families are being clearly resolved.
