Detection of shellfish toxins from scallops in Guangzhou seafood market [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2011 To evaluate scallop safety in the Guangzhou seafood market, contents of shellfish toxins in adductor muscle, mantle skirts, gills and visceral mass of scallops were examined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and mouse unit assay.

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.

HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA: EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH.
Euromediterranean Biomedical Journal, 2013 A harmful algal bloom (HAB) is defined as a bloom that has deleterious effects on plants, animals or humans. Marine algal toxins are responsible for an array of human illnesses associated with consumption of seafood or exposure to aerosolized toxins ...

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 ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Algicidal Bacteria in Controlling Harmful Algal Blooms: Advances in Bacteria-Algae Interactions. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepThis review elucidates the molecular mechanisms of algicidal bacteria, highlighting critical behaviours like chemotaxis, quorum sensing and extracellular vesicle release. It details how these actions disrupt algal cellular integrity, photosynthesis and calcium homeostasis, providing a theoretical foundation for controlling harmful algal blooms ...

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.
