Exposure to harmful algal blooms (HABs) can lead to well recognised acute patterns of
illness in humans. The objective of this scoping review was to use an established …

Marine biotoxins are produced by aquatic microorganisms and accumulate in shellfish or
finfish following the food web. These toxins usually reach human consumers by ingestion of …

Current climate trends are likely to expand the geographic distribution of the toxigenic
microalgae and concomitant phycotoxins, making intoxications by such toxins a global …

Background Saxitoxin (STX) is the most toxic marine toxin, which can pose several adverse
effects on human health. High sensitivity, fast response, and low-cost detection of STX …

As a type of cyanobacterial toxins, saxitoxin (STX) is receiving great interest due to its
increasing presence in waterbodies. However, the underlying mechanism of STX-induced …

This external scientific report summarises the results from thearticle 36 grant

In Portugal, the potent paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) have appeared irregularly since the
onset of a national monitoring program for marine biotoxins in 1986. In years where high …

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 …

Bivalve molluscs can acquire marine biotoxins by filter-feeding upon certain toxin-producing
microalgae. The two most common syndromes observed in temperate coastal waters have …

Concentrations of the paralytic shellfish toxins GTX6, C1+ 2, GTX5, C3+ 4, dcSTX, dcNEO
and dcGTX2+ 3 were determined by LC-FLD in composite samples of whole soft tissues of …
