Clinical and epidemiological features of neurotoxic shellfish poisoning in North Carolina. [PDF]
American Journal of Public Health, 1991 BACKGROUND: In October 1987, a red tide due to P. brevis affected the North Carolina coast for the first time. The purpose of our study was to describe the clinical and epidemiological features of neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP), an illness caused by eating shellfish contaminated with the neurotoxins of P. brevis. METHODS: Active surveillance was

A novel antibody-based biomarker for chronic algal toxin exposure and sub-acute neurotoxicity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The neurotoxic amino acid, domoic acid (DA), is naturally produced by marine phytoplankton and presents a significant threat to the health of marine mammals, seabirds and humans via transfer of the toxin through the foodweb.

Phycotoxins in Marine Shellfish: Origin, Occurrence and Effects on Humans
Marine Drugs, 2018 Massive phytoplankton proliferation, and the consequent release of toxic metabolites, can be responsible for seafood poisoning outbreaks: filter-feeding mollusks, such as shellfish, mussels, oysters or clams, can accumulate these toxins throughout the ...

Marine Biotoxins: Occurrence, Toxicity, Regulatory Limits and Reference Methods
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Harmful algal blooms are natural phenomena caused by the massive growth of phytoplankton that may contain highly toxic chemicals, the so-called marine biotoxins causing illness and even death to both aquatic organisms and humans.

Acute Effects of Brevetoxin-3 Administered via Oral Gavage to Mice
Marine Drugs, 2023 Brevetoxins (BTXs) constitute a family of lipid-soluble toxic cyclic polyethers mainly produced by Karenia brevis, which is the main vector for a foodborne syndrome known as neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP) in humans.
