Characterization of marine aerosol for assessment of human exposure to brevetoxins |
2009 |
2390 |
Red tides in the Gulf of Mexico are commonly formed by the fish-killing dinoflagellate Karenia brevis, which produces nine potent polyether brevetoxins (PbTxs). Brevetoxins can be transferred from water to air in wind-powered white-capped waves. Inha... |
A competitive ELISA to detect brevetoxins from Karenia brevis (formerly Gymnodinium breve) in seawater, shellfish, and mammalian body fluid |
2009 |
2689 |
We developed a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to analyze brevetoxins,
using goat anti-brevetoxin antibodies obtained after immunization with keyhole limpet hemocyanin-
brevetoxin conjugates, in combination with a three-step s... |
Initial evaluation of the effects of aerosolized Florida red tide toxins (brevetoxins) in persons with asthma |
2009 |
2069 |
Florida red tides annually occur in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting from blooms of the marine dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. K. brevis produces highly potent natural polyether toxins, known as brevetoxins, that activate voltage-sensitive sodium channel... |
New fish-killing alga in coastal Delaware produces neurotoxins |
2009 |

Ten fish mortality events, involving primarily Atlantic menhaden, occurred from early July
through September 2000 in several bays and creeks in Delaware, USA. Two events involved large
mortalities estimated at 1–2.5 million fish in Bald Eagle Creek... |
