Susan B. Wilde,Thomas M. Murphy,Charlotte P. Hope,Sarah K. Habrun,Jason W. Kempton,Anna H. Birrenkott,Faith E. Wiley,William W. Bowerman,Alan J. Lewitus,Alan J. Lewitus +9 more
TL;DR: The field surveys and feeding studies have implicated exotic hydrilla and associated epiphytic cyanobacterial species as a link to avian vacuolar myelinopathy (AVM), an emerging avian disease affecting herbivorous waterbirds and their avian predators.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCR and FISH Detection Extends the Range of Pfiesteria piscicida in Estuarine Waters
Parke A. Rublee,Jason W. Kempton,Eric F. Schaefer,JoAnn M. Burkholder,Howard B. Glasgow,David Oldach +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that P. piscicida is a common, and normally benign, inhabitant of estuarine waters of the eastern coast of the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI

JoAnn M. Burkholder,Andrew S. Gordon,Peter D. R. Moeller,J. Mac Law,Kathryn J. Coyne,Alan J. Lewitus,John S. Ramsdell,Harold G. Marshall,Nora J. Deamer,S. Craig Cary,Jason W. Kempton,Steven L. Morton,Parke A. Rublee +12 more
TL;DR: The data show the importance of testing multiple strains when assessing the potential for toxicity at the genus or species level, using appropriate culturing techniques and assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kryptoperidinium foliaceum blooms in South Carolina: a multi-analytical approach to identification
Jason W. Kempton,Jennifer L. Wolny,Torstein Tengs,Peter J. Rizzo,Rodney L. Morris,Janet Tunnell,Paula S. Scott,Karen A. Steidinger,Sabrina N. Hymel,Alan J. Lewitus,Alan J. Lewitus +10 more
TL;DR: Observations following the discovery of Kryptoperidinium foliaceum blooms in South Carolina (SC), USA, suggest that a multi-analytical approach, using a standard, minimal set of criteria, should be adopted for determining dinoflagellate species identity and taxonomic placement.
