A case of fatal paralytic shellfish poisoning in Alaska

Clinical toxicology, 2021
Paralytic shellfish poisoning in Alaska is common and results from the consumption of dinoflagellate contaminated marine species. Coastlines are routinely monitored for Saxitoxin (SXT) and SXT analogue containing shellfish that cause paralytic type ...

Quantification of the paralytic shellfish poisoning dinoflagellate Alexandrium species using a digital PCR.

Harmful Algae, 2020
A ubiquitous dinoflagellate, Alexandrium, produces paralytic shellfish toxin (PST), and its outbreaks have negative impacts on aquaculture, fisheries, human health, and the marine ecosystem. To minimize such damages, a routine monitoring program of toxic

Mild paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) after ingestion of mussels contaminated below the European regulatory limit

Clinical toxicology, 2020
Sir,Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) occurs after the ingestion of shellfish contaminated with neurotoxins of which saxitoxin (STX) is the reference compound.

Simultaneous determination of twelve paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins in bivalve molluscs by UPLC-MS/MS and its applications to a food poisoning incident.

Toxicon, 2019
In this study, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was originally developed for simultaneously quantitative analysis of twelve paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins, referring to STX, NEO, dcSTX, GTX1 ...

Lethal Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning in Guatemala

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1990
An outbreak of paralytic shellfish poisoning occurred in Champerico, on the Pacific coast of Guatemala, July-August 1987. Of 187 people affected with characteristic neurologic symptoms, 26 died. A case study implicated a species of clam, Amphichaena kindermani, harvested from local beaches as the vehicle of the neurotoxins (saxitoxins).

Paralytic shellfish poisoning in Southern China

Toxicon, 1996
The rapidly expanding mariculture and commercial region along the southern coast of China has experienced sporadic outbreaks of paralytic shellfish poisoning for nearly 30 years, yet virtually nothing is known of the nature of that toxicity or of the causative organisms.

Toxicologic studies on paralytic shellfish poison

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 1960
Abstract The acute LD50's for a highly purified preparation of paralytic shellfish poison in mice were determined for the oral (263 μg/kg), intraperitoneal (10.0 μg/kg), and intravenous (3.4 μg/kg) routes. Female mice were more susceptible than males to lethal doses of the poison. Increases of pH of the injection medium or the addition of sodium ions

Paralytic Shellfish Poisons

1984
Paralytic shellfish poisons (PSP) are the toxins responsible for acute and often fatal poisonings caused by the consumption of certain shellfish. The phenomenon has been known since prehistoric times. A thorough docuinen tation of the incidents can be found in HALSTEAD’S treatise on poisonousmarine organisms (7).

Paralytic shellfish poisoning

Neurology, 1990
We report serial electrophysiologic observations in a patient with acute bulbar and respiratory paralysis following ingestion of saxitoxin-contaminated clams. Prolonged distal motor and sensory latencies, slowed conduction velocities, and moderately diminished amplitudes were present at the outset. All values returned to normal over 5 days.

Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning: A Review

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1977
SUMMARY Paralytic shellfish poisoning (psp) in man results from the consumption of mussels, clams, and oysters that have fed on toxic dinoflagellates. Motile, marine protozoa of the dinoflagellate group often produce “blooms,” i.e., red tides, which color the sea. Not all genera or species are toxic to fish and mammals, nor are the toxic principles the
