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 ...

Lactococcus garvieae as a Novel Pathogen in Cultured Pufferfish (Takifugu obscurus) in China
FishesIn October 2023, a disease outbreak in pufferfish (Takifugu obscurus) farms in Zhongshan City, Guangdong, China, caused high mortality. Diseased fish (mean length: 15 ± 1 cm) exhibited swimming disorders, fin rot, hemorrhage, and an enlarged spleen ...

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

Animals, 2023 Pufferfish (Tetraodontidae) inhabiting the Mediterranean Sea may represent an emerging public health risk due to the possible accumulation of marine neurotoxins such as tetrodotoxin (TTXs) and saxitoxin (STXs) in their tissues.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 We describe the genomic characteristics of Vibrio cholerae strain PS-4 that is unable to ferment sucrose on a thiosulfate citrate bile salt sucrose (TCBS) agar medium. This bacterium was isolated from the skin mucus of a freshwater pufferfish. The genome

Quantum Pufferfish Privacy: A Flexible Privacy Framework for Quantum Systems [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2023 We propose a versatile privacy framework for quantum systems, termed quantum pufferfish privacy (QPP). Inspired by classical pufferfish privacy, our formulation generalizes and addresses limitations of quantum differential privacy by offering flexibility

Pufferfish gasdermin Ea is a significant player in the defense against bacterial pathogens. [PDF]
Mar Life Sci TechnolGasdermins (GSDMs) are proteins cleaved by caspase (CASP) to trigger pyroptosis. In teleosts, pyroptosis is mediated by gasdermin E (GSDME). The Pufferfish, Takifugu rubripes, possesses two GSDME orthologs: named TrGSDMEa and TrGSDMEb.

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. An ambulance

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.

The impact of tetrodotoxin (TTX) on the gut microbiome in juvenile tiger pufferfish, Takifugu rubripes. [PDF]
Sci RepTetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin that accumulates in Takifugu rubripes, commonly known as pufferfish, through the ingestion of TTX-bearing organisms as part of their food chain.
