“…Likewise in Poland food of marine origin (seafood) continues to expand its market. Bivalve molluscs may be a serious safety concern when consumed raw or cooked, due to the presence of toxicological hazards (10,11). DSP toxins were detected in mussels from the Adriatic Sea but without resulting in any serious illnesses in consumers (1).…”

Introduction: Growing consumption of shellfish is associated with an increased risk of food poisoning. The study was carried out on live bivalve molluscs available on the Polish market between 2009 and 2013. Material and Methods: ELISA was used for the determination of the following marine biotoxins: paralytic shellfish poison (PSP), amnaesic shellfish poison (ASP), and diarrhoeic shellfish poison (DSP). The molluscs, of which seven species were examined, were obtained from wholesale companies and markets. Results: Marine biotoxins were detected below the permitted levels in 67.6% of the samples. The maximum amounts of PSP and ASP biotoxins were found in great scallops (532.6 μg/kg and 1.0 mg/kg respectively) and the peak for DSP was in blue mussels (107 μg/kg). Conclusion: The analysis of toxicological status of raw bivalve molluscs available on the market in Poland indicates that they are safe for consumers.

“…Estas reacciones no solo incluyen las respuestas alérgicas mediadas por IgE, inducidas por la ingestión, contacto o inhalación de alérgenos (10,11), sino que también incluyen reacciones adversas generadas por toxinas o contaminantes infecciosos (8,12,13).…”

Contribución de los autores:Marlon Múnera: búsqueda bibliográfica y redacción de aspectos moleculares de los alérgenos y la reacción cruzada, elaboración del cuadro y las figuras; participó en los análisis de la composición alergénica de los extractos de camarón y de la prevalencia de reacción al camarón en la población alérgica del trabajo de investigación relacionado en esta revisión. Luis Gómez: búsqueda bibliográfica y redacción de los aspectos epidemiológicos de la alergia al camarón, y discusión general del texto propuesto. Leonardo Puerta: propuso el tema y su organización, hizo la revisión y la corrección del texto; es el investigador principal de los dos proyectos que apoyan este trabajo. La alergia a los mariscos es una de las alergias alimentarias de mayor prevalencia en muchos países, especialmente la inducida por el consumo o contacto con los camarones. A varias especies de camarón se les conoce la capacidad de inducir alergias; sin embargo, el conjunto de alérgenos que producen no se conoce y pocos de ellos se han caracterizado completamente. Este trabajo se llevó a cabo para conocer los avances recientes en la caracterización de los alérgenos del camarón y su relación con alérgenos de otros artrópodos de importancia en las alergias. Se hace énfasis en la especie Litopenaeus vannamei, la de mayor consumo en Colombia. A los alérgenos de los camarones mayormente caracterizados se les nombra según la nomenclatura oficial, aunque se les conoce más por la función biológica asociada. La tropomiosina, el alérgeno principal y más estudiado en diferentes especies de camarón, participa en la reacción cruzada entre el camarón y otros artrópodos, como los ácaros domésticos. Los otros alérgenos caracterizados parecen contribuir poco en este tipo de reacción. El potencial alergénico del camarón L. vannamei no está completamente dilucidado y unos pocos de sus alérgenos se han caracterizado, mientras que otros recientemente identificados, como la hemocianina y las proteínas de unión a ácidos grasos, se empiezan a investigar. Los resultados preliminares sugieren que participan en la reacción cruzada entre el camarón y los ácaros. La caracterización molecular e inmunológica del conjunto de alérgenos presentes en el camarón, ayudaría a conocer mejor su papel alergénico.

Several shrimp species are known to induce allergy diseases. However, the whole spectrum of allergens they contain is unknown and few of them have been completely characterized. This study was done in order to know the recent advances in the characterization of shrimp allergens and its relationship with allergens from other arthropods of importance in allergic diseases. We emphasize the species Litopenaeus vannamei, t...

“…The depletion of dissolved oxygen, the result of the drastically increased algal individuals, creates lethal condition for local fishes and aquatic organisms (Etheridge 2010;Garcia et al 2010). Some algal species are toxigenic and are capable of producing various toxins which threaten human health (Erdner et al 2008;Kirkpatrick et al 2008;Etheridge 2010;Garcia et al 2010;James et al 2010;Fleming et al 2011). Eutrophication and some natural processes have been hypothesized as contributing factors in the occurrence of harmful algae bloom (Magana et al 2003;Baden et al 2005;Landsberg et al 2009;Carvalho et al 2011).…”

“…The brevetoxins are secreted during the blooms, resulting in a variety of negative economic, environmental, and human health effects (Erdner et al 2008;James et al 2010;Wang et al 2010;Fleming et al 2011). The relationship between K. brevis blooms and fish kills along with respiratory illness has been known for a long time (Backer et al 2003;Pierce et al 2003;Backer et al 2005;Cheng et al 2005;Cheng et al 2010).…”

The purposes of this study were to characterize the complexation of toxic metals with algal toxins and to determine the effects of arsenic and copper on the growth of Karenia brevis under specific experimental conditions. Microcystins, pahayokolides, brevetoxins and okadaic acid were used as representatives of algal toxins while arsenic, copper, cadmium, cobalt, iron, manganese and mercury were selected as typical toxic metals (including metalloids here) in the aquatic environment. The stabilities of the toxin-metal complexes were determined using equilibrium dialysis and/or centrifugal ultrafiltration technique. A direct exposure of arsenic and copper to the K. brevis was carried out to determine the effects of these metals to the growth of the algal cell.
