Toxic Effects and Tumor Promotion Activity of Marine Phytoplankton Toxins: A Review
Phytoplankton are photosynthetic microorganisms in aquatic environments that produce many bioactive substances. However, some of them are toxic to aquatic organisms via filter-feeding and are even poisonous to humans through the food chain.

Human shellfish poisoning: Implementation of a national surveillance program in France
Toxic algae and their toxins represent an emerging public health issue, particularly due to global warming. The toxicological mechanisms of neurotoxic phycotoxins and their human health effects have been widely described (paralytic, neurological, amnesic,

A THEORETICAL ESTIMATION OF EXPOSURE TO SHELLFISH TOXINS OF DIFFERENT POPULATION GROUPS IN BULGARIA
Introduction. Shellfish poisoning could be caused by ingestion of shellfish contaminated by bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, pesticides, marine biotoxins etc. The objective of the study was to determine the theoretical human exposure to shellfish toxins

HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA: EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH.
A harmful algal bloom (HAB) is defined as a bloom that has deleterious effects on plants, animals or humans. Marine algal toxins are responsible for an array of human illnesses associated with consumption of seafood or exposure to aerosolized toxins ...

Detection of diarrheal shellfish toxins
Seafood poisoning outbreaks are often caused by biotoxins generated by harmful algal blooms. Shellfish toxins, mainly derived from phytoplankton, cause diarrhea and poisoning in humans who consume contaminated seafood. Many studies suggest that diarrheal
