Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of substratum and depth on benthic harmful dinoflagellate assemblages.
Li Keat Lee,Zhen Fei Lim,Haifeng Gu,Leo Lai Chan,R. Wayne Litaker,Patricia A. Tester,Chui Pin Leaw,Po Teen Lim +7 more
TL;DR: Insight is provided into how BHAB-specific microhabitat preferences can affect toxicity risks and which genera appear to have the greatest range being broadly distributed among a wide variety of microhab itats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human health effects of exposure to Pfiesteria piscicida: a review
TL;DR: Since its identification, the dinoflagellate Pfiesteria piscicida has been implicated in fish kills and fish disease in the southeastern United States and in watermen following exposure to a fish kill in Maryland.
Journal ArticleDOI
104 Identification of Pfiesteria Piscicida (Dinophyceae) and Pfiesteria‐Like Organisms Using its‐Specific PCR Assays
R. W. Litaker,Mark W. Vandersea,Steven R. Kibler,Patricia A. Tester,Kimberly S. Reece,Nancy A. Stokes,Karen A. Steidinger,David F. Millie,Brian J. Bendis,Ryan J. Pigg +9 more
TL;DR: These PCR assays had a minimum sensitivity of 100 cells in a 100 mL sample (1 cell mL-1) and were successfully used to detect PLOs in the St. Johns River system in Florida, USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skin problems related to noninfectious coastal microorganisms
TL;DR: This article attempts to separate these entities into distinct syndromes caused by a variety of bacteria, phytoplankton and zooplanka into treatment and prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mark W. Vandersea,Patricia A. Tester,Kris Holderied,Dominic Hondolero,Steve Kibler,Kim Powell,Steve Baird,Angela Doroff,Darcy Dugan,Andrew Meredith,Michelle C. Tomlinson,R. Wayne Litaker +11 more
TL;DR: Gene sequencing of SSU rDNA from cells collected from the bloom confirmed the causative species to be Karenia mikimotoi, and suggested cells were introduced to Kachemak Bay at a time when conditions allowed K. mikhimotoi to thrive.
