- 15 March 2005
This paper reviews the occurrence and properties of cyanobacterial toxins, with reference to the recognition and management of the human health risks which they may present. Mass populations of… Expand

Cyanobacteria can generate molecules hazardous to human health, but production of the known cyanotoxins is taxonomically sporadic. For example, members of a few genera produce hepatotoxic… Expand
Extraction and high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of microcystins in raw and treated waters.

- 1994
Increasing concern over the presence of microcystins (cyanobacterial/blue-green algal hepatotoxins) in water supplies has emphasized the need for a suitable analytical method. As many microcystins… Expand

- 15 November 2010
Abstract The growth of mass populations of toxin-producing cyanobacteria is a serious concern for the ecological status of inland waterbodies and for human and animal health. In this study we… Expand
Cyanobacterial toxins, exposure routes and human health
- G. Codd, S. Bell, K. Kaya, C. J. Ward, K. A. Beattie, J. Metcalf
- Biology
- 1 October 1999
The production of potent toxins by bloom-, scum- and mat-forming cyanobacteria, in fresh-, brackish and marine waters, appears to be a global phenomenon. Cyanobacterial toxins can also be produced by… Expand
Uptake and effects of microcystin‐LR on detoxication enzymes of early life stages of the zebra fish (Danio rerio)
- C. Wiegand, S. Pflugmacher, +4 authors G. Codd
- Biology
- 1 February 1999
The effects of cyanotoxins on fish have been studied mainly in adults, rather than in early life stages which could be more sensitive or, in view of their immobility, more readily affected. The… Expand
