Dose-Response Modelling of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) in Humans.
Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is caused by a group of marine toxins with saxitoxin (STX) as the reference compound. Symptoms in humans after consumption of contaminated shellfish vary from slight neurological and gastrointestinal effects to fatal respiratory paralysis. A systematic review was conducted to identify reported cases of human poisoning associated with the ingestion of shellfis...
متن کاملEvidence for paralytic shellfish poisons in the freshwater cyanobacterium Lyngbya wollei (Farlow ex Gomont) comb. nov.
Lyngbya wollei (Farlow ex Gomont) comb. nov., a perennial mat-forming filamentous cyanobacterium prevalent in lakes and reservoirs of the southeastern United States, was found to produce a potent, acutely lethal neurotoxin when tested in the mouse bioassay. Signs of poisoning were similar to those of paralytic shellfish poisoning. As part of the Tennessee Valley Authority master plan for Gunter...
متن کاملIchthyotoxicity of Paralytic Shellfish Poison
Attempts were made to examine the ichthyotoxicity of paralytic shellfish poison (PSP) in sixteen species of marine and freshwater fishes. Most of them showed minimum lethal doses (LD100) ranging from 1-8 MU/20g body weight when injected with a partially purified PSP intra peritoneally. Exceptionally, several fishes such as a goby Acanthogobius flavimanus (LD100, 9-17 MU/20g) and puffer Fugu nip...
متن کاملParalytic shellfish poisoning in south eastern Tasmania.
Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a public health risk worldwide, resulting from the consumption of seafood that has bioaccumulated toxins produced by microalgae.1 Bivalve shellfish (such as mussels, clams, oysters and scallops) pose a particularly high risk as they feed by filtration, providing a method of toxin accumulation. Algae responsible for causing PSP include several species of th...
متن کاملParalytic Shellfish Poisoning Toxins: Biochemistry and Origin
Plankton feeders such as bivalves often become toxic. Human consumption of the toxic bivalve causes severe food poisoning, including paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) which is the most dangerous because of the acuteness of the symptoms, high fatality and wide distribution throughout the world. Accumulation of PSP toxins in shellfish has posed serious problems to public health and fisheries in...
