TL;DR: Toxin composition comparison between two G. polynesiensis strains suggests that the toxin profile is a stable characteristic in this species, which proved inherently more toxic than other Gambierdiscus species isolated from other geographical areas.

TL;DR: This review aims to describe the methodologies available for CTX detection, including those based on the toxicological, biochemical, chemical, and pharmaceutical properties of CTXs, and to study the onset of CFP in Europe.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that, locally, the traditional knowledge about ciguatera may not be scientifically complete but is functionally correct, and community education resulted in self-regulating behaviour towards avoidance of high-risk fish species and fishing locations.

TL;DR: This is the first report on the involvement of cyanobacteria in CFP-like outbreaks following the consumption of giant clams or fish specimens, and it is recommended that CFP risk assessment programs now include monitoring of Cyanobacteria besides the obvious screening of C FP-promoting dinoflagellates.

TL;DR: The anti-inflammatory effects of Vitex trifolia could validate its utilization as a traditional remedy against CFP and emphasises its potential therapeutic value against other inflammatory diseases.
