Contrasting Toxin Selectivity between the Marine Pufferfish Takifugu pardalis and the Freshwater Pufferfish Pao suvattii [PDF]
Toxins, 2019 To clarify the differences in toxin selectivity between marine and freshwater pufferfish, we conducted experiments in artificially reared nontoxic specimens of Takifugu pardalis (marine) and Pao suvattii (freshwater) using tetrodotoxin (TTX) and ...

Poison arrows and pufferfish [PDF]
QJM, 2014 ### Learning Point for Clinicians This report describes attempted suicide through subcutaneous injection of tetrodotoxin, ouabain and ryanodine, and while the method is highly unusual, it highlights common themes in the management of poisoning, in particular the recognition of ‘toxidromes’ and use of all available sources of information.

ILAR Journal, 1998 The earliest true vertebrates are represented by fish. The largest fish class, the teleosts or bony fish, contain nearly 20,000 known species. Although this class comprises only about half of all the known vertebrate species, they are probably the least well studied at the molecular level among vertebrate phyla.

Toxins, 2022 Tetrodotoxin (TTX)-bearing fish ingest TTX from their preys through the food chain and accumulate TTX in their bodies. Although a wide variety of TTX-bearing organisms have been reported, the missing link in the TTX supply chain has not been elucidated ...

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022 With the opening of the Suez Canal as a link between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea in 1869, the biogeographical event of the Lessepsian migration has been starting. Aided by beneficial conditions in the new habitat, almost 500 marine species have

EVOLUTION OF PUFFERFISH INFLATION BEHAVIOR [PDF]
Evolution, 1997 The evolution of the extraordinary inflation mechanism of pufferfishes was studied in the light of an independently derived phylogenetic hypothesis of tetraodontiform fishes. Inflation behavior is found in all members of the puffer sister taxa Tetraodontidae and Diodontidae.

Tetraodon genome confirms Takifugu findings : most fish are ancient polyploids [PDF]
, 2004 An evolutionary hypothesis suggested by studies of the genome of the tiger pufferfish Takifugu rubripes has now been confirmed by comparison with the genome of a close relative, the spotted green pufferfish Tetraodon nigroviridis.

Marine Drugs, 2021 Pufferfish is increasingly regarded by many as a delicacy. However, the tetrodotoxin (TTX) that accumulates in its body can be lethal upon consumption by humans.
