Microalgal blooms are a natural part of the seasonal cycle of photosynthetic organisms in
marine ecosystems. They are key components of the structure and dynamics of the oceans …

Simple Summary Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a serious threat to aquatic environments.
The intensive expansion of HABs across the world is a warning signal of environmental …

Sea surface temperatures in the world's oceans are projected to warm by 0.4–1.4° C by mid
twenty-first century causing many tropical and sub-tropical harmful dinoflagellate genera like …

Blooms of the benthic toxic dinoflagellate genus Ostreopsis have been recorded more
frequently during the last two decades, particularly in warm temperate areas such as the …

Since the late 1990s, a respiratory syndrome has been repetitively observed in humans
concomitant with Ostreopsis spp. blooms (mainly O. cf. ovata) in the Mediterranean area …

The genus Ostreopsis includes species largely distributed from tropical to temperate marine
areas worldwide. Among the nine species of the genus, O. siamensis, O. mascarenensis, O …

The new benthic toxic dinoflagellate, Ostreopsis fattorussoi sp. nov., is described from the
Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Lebanon and Cyprus coasts, and is supported by …

Ostreopsis cf. ovata is a toxic marine benthic dinoflagellate responsible for harmful blooms
affecting ecosystem and human health, mostly in the Mediterranean Sea. In this study we …

Ostreopsis cf. ovata produces palytoxin analogues including ovatoxins (OVTXs) and a
putative palytoxin (p-PLTX), which can accumulate in marine organisms and may possibly …

In this study, we coupled biolayer interferometry (BLI) with competitive binding assay
through an enzyme-linked aptamer and developed a real-time, ultra-sensitive, rapid …
