“…The first recorded incident occurred in the Netherlands in 1995 when diners consumed contaminated blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) cultured in Ireland (Satake et al 1998;Twiner et al 2008). Further incidents occurred in Europe, including Ireland itself, over the next 5 years, all from the consumption of mussels produced in Ireland (James et al 2004;Twiner et al 2008).…”

Detection of Azadinium poporum in New Zealand: the use of molecular tools to assist with species isolations

et al. 2015

A real-time PCR assay for the detection of species from the genera Azadinium and Amphidoma (family Amphidomataceae) was developed in order to screen field samples and to aid in the isolation of azaspiracid (AZA)-producing dinoflagellates. The assay was highly specific and sensitive and allowed the rapid detection of target species. Samples collected as part of the New Zealand Marine Phytoplankton Monitoring Programme were analysed using the Amphidomataceae real-time PCR assay. Azadinium poporum was detected in New Zealand for the first time, and a culture was successfully established. Extracts of this isolate proved to be of low toxicity to mice and did not contain AZA-1, -2 or -3. Field samples will continue to be screened with the aim of identifying AZAproducing species. The Amphidomataceae real-time PCR assay will be a useful tool for monitoring programmes and taxonomic surveys worldwide.

“…injection: before death, mice showed progressive paralysis of the limbs, dyspnea, and convulsions (James et al, 2004;Twiner et al, 2008). injection, the lethal dose of AZA1 in mice has been determined to be 200 µg/kg; AZA2 and AZA3 are more toxic (110 and 140 µg/kg, respectively), contrary to AZA4 (470 µg/kg) and AZA5 (1 mg/kg).…”
