Algal Bloom–Associated Disease Outbreaks Among Users of Freshwater Lakes — United States, 2009–2010
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are excessive accumulations of microscopic photosynthesizing aquatic organisms (phytoplankton) that produce biotoxins or otherwise adversely affect humans, animals, and ecosystems. HABs occur sporadically and often produce a visible algal scum on the water. This report summarizes human health data and water sampling results voluntarily reported to CDC's Waterborne Di...
متن کاملEnvironmental and health effects associated with Harmful Algal Bloom and marine algal toxins in China.
The frequency and scale of Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) and marine algal toxin incidents have been increasing and spreading in the past two decades, causing damages to the marine environment and threatening human life through contaminated seafood. To better understand the effect of HAB and marine algal toxins on marine environment and human health in China, this paper overviews HAB occurrence and ...
متن کاملSeaWiFS discrimination of harmful algal bloom evolution
The discrimination of harmful algal blooms (HABs) from space would benefit both the capability of early warning systems and the study of environmental factors affecting the initiation of blooms. Unfortunately, there are no published techniques using global monitoring satellite sensors to distinguish the resulting subtle changes in ocean colour, so in situ sampling is needed to identify the spec...
متن کاملEthnophamacological Survey of Snake Bite Treatment in Ukerewe Island, Tanzania
Snakebites envenomation is an important public health problem in many tropical and subtropical countries and the most affected being farmers, pastoralists, hunters and children. Most of the snakebite morbidity and mortality remain undocumented especially in rural areas since most incidences of snakebite are attended by traditional healers/herbalists mainly by using plants. Pharmacological studi...
متن کاملProbabilistically assessing the role of nutrient loading in harmful algal bloom formation in western Lake Erie
Communicated by Joseph DePinto Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have increased in frequency and magnitude in western Lake Erie and spring phosphorus (P) load was shown to be a key driver of bloom intensity. A recently developed Bayesian hierarchical model that predicts peak bloom size as a function of Maumee River phosphorus load suggested an apparent increased susceptibility of the lake to HABs. We...
