Domoic Acid and Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning - A Review
A new type of seafood toxicity, called amnesic shellfish poisoning, was described from 107 human cases after individuals consumed mussels containing domoic acid harvested from Prince Edward Island, Canada, in 1987. Most of these cases experienced gastroenteritis, and many older persons or others with underlying chronic illnesses developed neurologic symptoms including memory loss. Standard trea...
متن کاملChemical methods for domoic acid, the amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) toxin
The amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) toxin, domoic acid, was originally isolated from a red macroalga Chondria armata by Japanese researchers studying the insecticidal properties of algal extracts (Takemoto and Daigo, 1958). The structure was later revised by Ohfune and Tomita (1982) (see Fig. 9.1). Domoic acid belongs to a group of amino acids called the kainoids, which are classed as neuroex...
متن کاملShellfish Poisoning and Toxins
Shellfish toxins are the most dangerous marine biotoxins, and produced by free living micro-algae. Shellfish toxins are concentrated in flesh, and poisoning occurs when these contaminated shellfish is consumed. They can cause paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP), neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP), amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) and azaspiracid shellfis...
متن کاملNeurotoxic Shellfish Poisoning
Neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP) is caused by consumption of molluscan shellfish contaminated with brevetoxins primarily produced by the dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis. Blooms of K. brevis, called Florida red tide, occur frequently along the Gulf of Mexico. Many shellfish beds in the US (and other nations) are routinely monitored for presence of K. brevis and other brevetoxin-producing orga...
متن کاملCommittee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food Consumer Products and the Environment Statement on Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning
1. We have been asked by the Food Standards Agency to review the issue of amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP). The Committee was asked to consider whether the current EU action limit for bivalve shellfish (e.g. mussels, scallops, clams) of 20μg domoic acid/g tissue is adequate for the protection of public health. The Committee was also asked to comment on the public health implications of a propo...
