Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning Toxins: Biochemistry and Origin

Aqua-BioScience Monographs, 2010
Plankton feeders such as bivalves often become toxic. Human consumption of the toxic bivalve causes severe food poisoning, including paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) which is the most dangerous because of the acuteness of the symptoms, high fatality and wide distribution throughout the world. Accumulation of PSP toxins in shellfish has posed serious

Distribution and toxicity of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Cyanobacteria) in Portuguese freshwaters [PDF]

, 2004
The cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis racborskii has become increasingly prevalent in freshwaters worldwide. This species is of concern from a water quality perspective due to its known ability to produce a potent hepatotoxic alkaloid cylindrospermopsin,

Harmful algal blooms and climate change: exploring future distribution changes [PDF]

, 2018
Harmful algae can cause death in fish, shellfish, marine mammals, and humans, via their toxins or from effects associated with their sheer quantity. There are many species, which cause a variety of problems around north-west Europe, and the frequency and

A Shellfish Monitoring System for Paralytic Shellfish Toxins Using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

Food Hygiene and Safety Science (Shokuhin Eiseigaku Zasshi), 2013
We investigated the applicability of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (PSP-ELISA) using a monoclonal antibody against paralytic shellfish toxins (PST) for screening oysters collected at several coastal areas in Kumamoto prefecture, Japan. Oysters collected between 2007 and 2010 were analyzed by PSP-ELISA.

Determination of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins in Shellfish by Receptor Binding Assay: Collaborative Study

Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 2012
Abstract A collaborative study was conducted on a microplate format receptor binding assay (RBA) for paralytic shellfish toxins (PST). The assay quantifies the composite PST toxicity in shellfish samples based on the ability of sample extracts to compete with 3H saxitoxin (STX) diHCl for binding to voltage- gated sodium channels in a rat

Paralytic Shellfish Toxin Uptake, Assimilation, Depuration, and Transformation in the Southeast Asian Green-Lipped Mussel (Perna viridis)

Toxins, 2019
Bivalve molluscs represent an important food source within the Philippines, but the health of seafood consumers is compromised through the accumulation of harmful algal toxins in edible shellfish tissues.
