Functional genomics of a non-toxic Alexandrium lusitanicum culture
Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a human intoxication associated with the consumption of shellfish contaminated with a family of neurotoxins called saxitoxins. Many species in the dinoflagellate genus Alexandrium have been shown to produce these toxins. Here I report the first case of a …

Expression and cellular localization of Copper transporter 2 (Ctr2) in Mus musculus
… algal biotoxins belonging to the family of PsP (paralytic shellfish poisoning) is described.

Life cycle studies of the red tide dinoflagellate species complex Alexandrium tamarense
… species complex Alexandrium tamarense may cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning, a significant and growing environmental threat worldwide. However, blooms of closely related nontoxic A. tamarense also occur, sometimes in close geographical proximity to toxic blooms. This thesis explores the …

Alexandrium catenella cyst dynamics in a coastal embayment : temperature dependence of dormancy, germination, and bloom Initiation
… the dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella cause paralytic shellfish poisoning syndrome and present an expanding public health threat. They are inoculated through the germination of benthic cysts, a process regulated by internal and environmental factors, most importantly temperature. Less …

Phenotypic diversity within two toxic dinoflagellate genera : environmental and transcriptomic studies of species diversity in Alexandrium and Gambierdiscus
… each contain species that can cause human poisoning syndromes, although the methods of toxin transfer, accumulation, and exposure are very different. Gambierdiscus is a benthic organism that produces lipophilic ciguatoxins that can bioaccumulate in coral reef fish and cause ciguatera fish …

Phylogeny and biogeography of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium
The incidence and known distribution of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) have both increased dramatically in recent decades. A concurrent rise in bloom frequency and geographic range of PSP toxin-producing Alexandrium dinoflagellates explains the increase in PSP, but the reasons for changes in …

Mating interactions of the harmful dinoflagellate alexandrium tamarense from UK coastal waters
… which are responsible for outbreaks of paralytic shellfish poisoning in areas of shellfish production. Sexual reproduction in A. tamarense has important implications for the initiation and termination of HAB’s associated with these species. Resistant, long-lived hypnozygotes are formed …
