Cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (or CyanoHABs) represent one of the most
conspicuous waterborne microbial hazards in aquatic environments mostly due to the …

Toxic cyanobacteria in freshwater bodies constitute a major threat to public health and
aquatic ecosystems [1]. Cyanobacterial blooms are increasing in frequency, magnitude and …

Toxic cyanobacteria occur in Greek surface water bodies. However, studies on the
occurrence of cyanotoxins (CTs) are often limited to mainly microcystins (MCs), with use of …

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (or CyanoHABs) represent one of the most
conspicuous waterborne microbial hazards. The characterization of the bloom communities …

The environmental occurrence and concentrations of cyanobacterial toxins (cyanotoxins)
were investigated in the Czech Republic. Concentrations of microcystins (MCs) …

The aim of this study was to characterise for the first time the toxin profile and in vivo/in vitro
toxicological effects of cyanobacteria obtained from three Romanian freshwater blooms. Two …

The scientific and public awareness of hazardous photosynthetic prokaryotes
(cyanobacteria/cyanoprokaryotes) and especially the contamination of drinking-water …

Abstract Lake Sevan, Armenia, is the largest freshwater body in the Caucasus region.
Cyanobacteria have become increasingly dominant in summer in Lake Sevan, reflecting the …

In a survey in Greece from 1987 to 2000 hepatotoxic cyanobacterial blooms were observed
in 9 out of 33 freshwaters. Microcystins (MCYSTs) were detected by HPLC in 7 of these …

The frequency of cyanobacterial proliferations in fresh waters is increasing worldwide and
the presence of associated cyanotoxins represent a threat for ecosystems and human …
