Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanobacterial toxins, exposure routes and human health
Geoffrey A. Codd,S. G. Bell,Kunimitsu Kaya,Clive J. Ward,Kenneth A. Beattie,James S. Metcalf +5 more
TL;DR: Advances in the recognition of cyanobacterial toxins and their toxicity, and of the exposure routes with reference to human health, namely via skin contact, inhalation, haemodialysis and ...
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanobacterial Toxins in Water
TL;DR: New methods are being developed for the purification of the toxins and for their recovery and quantification from waters, including the use of chemical, cytotoxicity and immunological methods to complement the mouse bioassay which has been used in cyanobacterial toxin studies with laboratory cultures and water samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanobacterial toxins and human health
S. G. Bell,Geoffrey A. Codd +1 more
TL;DR: The tumour-promoting actions of cyanobacterial hepatotoxins in laboratory studies – and the implications of these – are discussed with reference to epidemiological work in progress.
Book ChapterDOI
Cyanobacterial toxins: occurrence, modes of action, health effects and exposure routes.
TL;DR: The findings and events indicate an incomplete understanding of the exposure routes of these natural toxins and the need for greater awareness of their occurrence and properties among users of waterbodies which are prone to cyanobacterial bloom development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of novel polyclonal antibodies against the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin-LR and their application for the detection and quantification of microcystins and nodularin
TL;DR: An indirect competitive immunoassay (ELISA) developed which can detect purified microcystin-LR and the toxin in extracts of cyanobacteria from fresh-, brackish and marine waters and cross-reacted well with all micro Cystin and nodularin variants.
