Environmental contaminants have been suggested as a possible cause of
fibropapillomatosis (FP) in green sea turtles. In turn, a reduced concentration of serum …

Ciguatera food poisoning (CFP) is widespread in tropical and sub-tropical waters, and it is
the most common food poisoning caused by marine biotoxins. The toxins involved …

Ciguatoxins (CTXs) are potent algal toxins that cause widespread ciguatera poisoning and
are found ubiquitously in coral reef food webs. Here we developed an environmentally …

Natural biotoxins and anthropogenic toxicants pose a significant risk to sea turtle health.
Documented effects of contaminants include potential disease progression and adverse …

The health of many Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) is adversely affected
by exposure to blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis. K. brevis blooms are …

Due to their longevity and extensive migration areas, marine turtles are able to accumulate
diverse contaminants over many years and as a consequence they represent an interesting …

Data on Karenia brevis red tides (≥ 10 5 cells l-1) and on dead or debilitated (ie stranded)

Massive algal proliferations known as Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) represent one of the
most important threats to coastal areas. Among them, the so-called Florida Red Tides (FRTs …

There is a strong correlation between degraded marine habitats and the prevalence of
diseases such as green turtle fibropapillomatosis (GTFP) in coastal populations. In GTFP …
