Hunt for the elusive toxins causing ciguatera poisoning in Macaronesia - Insights and perspectives ...
Ciguatera poisoning is a foodborne illness caused by consuming fish contaminated with ciguatoxins produced by the dinoflagellates Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa. In Macaronesia, an archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean, ciguatera poisoning is a significant public health concern, and identifying the sou...
