First identification of tetrodotoxin (TTX) in the flatworm Stylochoplana sp.; a source of TTX for the sea slug Pleurobranchaea maculata

Toxicon, 2015
High concentrations of the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin (TTX) were detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in the Platyhelminthes Stylochoplana sp. from Pilot Bay (Tauranga, New Zealand). This is the first detection of TTX in this genus. Concentrations were monitored from March to November (2013) and found to significantly decrease from ...

Diet of the invasive sea slug Pleurobranchaea maculata in Patagonian coastal waters

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, 2018
ABSTRACT High densities of the invasive sea slug, Pleurobranchaea maculata , have been detected on the Argentinean coast, but studies on the species’ adaptation have been absent until now. Stomach contents of P.

Development of a non-lethal biopsy technique for estimating total tetrodotoxin concentrations in the grey side-gilled sea slug Pleurobranchaea maculata

Toxicon, 2013
High concentrations of tetrodotoxin (TTX) have been detected in some New Zealand populations of Pleurobranchaea maculata (grey side-gilled sea slug). Within toxic populations there is significant variability in TTX concentrations among individuals, with up to 60-fold differences measured.

Genetic barcoding confirms the presence of the neurotoxic sea slug Pleurobranchaea maculata in southwestern Atlantic coast

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, 2016
ABSTRACT This work extends a previous report on the outbreak of an unknown neurotoxic sea slug along the southwestern Atlantic coast by providing identification to species level. In this study a c. 550 base pair (bp) region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 mitochondrial gene used for genetic barcoding was ...

Detection of tetrodotoxin from the grey side-gilled sea slug - Pleurobranchaea maculata, and associated dog neurotoxicosis on beaches adjacent to the Hauraki Gulf, Auckland, New Zealand

Toxicon, 2010
Investigations into a series of dog poisonings on beaches in Auckland, North Island, New Zealand, resulted in the identification of tetrodotoxin (TTX) in the grey side-gilled sea slug, Pleurobranchaea maculata. The levels of TTX in P. maculata, assayed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) ranged from 91 to 850 mg kg(-1) with a median ...
