Brevetoxicosis: red tides and marine mammal mortalities.
Leanne J. Flewelling,Jerome Naar,Jay P. Abbott,Daniel G. Baden,Nélio B. Barros,Gregory D. Bossart,Marie-Yasmine Dechraoui Bottein,Daniel G. Hammond,Elsa M. Haubold,Cynthia A. Heil,Michael S. Henry,Henry M. Jacocks,Tod A. Leighfield,Richard H. Pierce,Thomas D. Pitchford,Sentiel A. Rommel,Paula S. Scott,Karen A. Steidinger,Earnest W. Truby,Frances M. Van Dolah,Jan H. Landsberg +20 more
TL;DR: It is shown that fish and seagrass can accumulate high concentrations of brevetoxins and that these have acted as toxin vectors during recent deaths of dolphins and manatees, respectively, and a new vector mechanism for brevetoxin spread through food webs that poses a threat to upper trophic levels is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural and Derivative Brevetoxins: Historical Background, Multiplicity, and Effects
TL;DR: The inhalation toxicity of Florida red tides would appear to depend on the amount of each toxin present, as well as on the spectrum of molecular activities elicited by each toxin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Karenia brevis red tides, brevetoxins in the food web, and impacts on natural resources: decadal advancements.
TL;DR: Unexplained fish kills and other animal mortalities in areas where red tide is endemic are being increasingly linked with post-bloom exposures of biota to brevetoxins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of Florida Red Tide and Human Health Effects.
Lora E. Fleming,Barbara Kirkpatrick,Lorraine C. Backer,Cathy J. Walsh,Kate Nierenberg,John D. Clark,Andrew Reich,Julie Hollenbeck,Janet M. Benson,Yung-Sung Cheng,Jerome Naar,Richard H. Pierce,Andrea J. Bourdelais,William M. Abraham,William M. Abraham,Gary J. Kirkpatrick,Julia Zaias,Adam Wanner,Eliana S. Mendes,Stuart L. Shalat,Porter Hoagland,Wendy Stephan,Judy A. Bean,Sharon Watkins,Tainya C. Clarke,Tainya C. Clarke,Margaret M. Byrne,Daniel G. Baden +27 more
TL;DR: The Review includes a brief discussion of the Florida red tide organisms and their toxins, and then focuses on the effects of these toxins on animals and humans, including how these effects predict what the authors might expect to see in exposed people.
Journal ArticleDOI
A competitive ELISA to detect brevetoxins from Karenia brevis (formerly Gymnodinium breve) in seawater, shellfish, and mammalian body fluid
Jerome Naar,Andrea J. Bourdelais,Carmelo R. Tomas,Julia Kubanek,Philip L Whitney,Leanne J. Flewelling,Karen Steidinger,Johnny Lancaster,Daniel G. Baden +8 more
TL;DR: 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 signal amplification process is developed.
