Definition
- Poisoning from toxins present in bivalve mollusks that have been ingested. Four distinct types of shellfish poisoning are recognized based on the toxin involved. A condition caused by ingestion of shellfish contaminated with SAXITOXIN from dinoflagellate species in the genus Alexandrium. A condition caused by ingestion of shellfish contaminated with toxins from Dinophysis species. A condition caused by ingestion of shellfish contaminated by domoic acid-producing diatoms of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia. A condition caused by ingestion of shellfish contaminated with brevetoxins primarily produced by the marine dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. This results from a HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM, especially the so-called "Florida red tide."
