Identification of ciguatoxins in a shark involved in a fatal food poisoning in the Indian Ocean
Scientific Reports, 2017 Severe food poisoning events after the consumption of sharks have been reported since the 1940s; however, there has been no clear understanding of their cause. Herein, we report for the first time the presence of ciguatoxins (CTXs) in sharks.
