- W2912145609 abstract "Abstract Ciguatera fish poisoning is an illness contracted through the ingestion of seafood containing ciguatoxins. It is prevalent in tropical regions worldwide, including in Australia. Ciguatoxins are produced by some species of Gambierdiscus. Therefore, screening of Gambierdiscus species identification through quantitative PCR (qPCR), along with the determination of species toxicity, can be useful in monitoring potential ciguatera risk in these regions. In Australia, the identity, distribution and abundance of ciguatoxin producing Gambierdiscus spp. is largely unknown. In this study we developed a rapid qPCR assay to quantify the presence and abundance of Gambierdiscus lapillus , a likely ciguatoxic species. We assessed the specificity and efficiency of the qPCR assay. The assay was tested on 25 environmental samples from the Heron Island reef in the southern Great Barrier Reef, a ciguatera endemic region, in triplicate to determine the presence and patchiness of these species across samples from Chnoospora sp., Padina sp. and Sargassum macroalgal hosts. Author’s summary Ciguatera fish poisoning is a human disease contracted by ingesting seafood contaminated with a group of neurotoxins. The group of neurotoxins, named ciguatoxins, are synthesised by species of single celled marine algae from the genus Gambierdiscus. Ciguatera fish poisoning occurs worldwide, particularly in tropical nations. Pacific Island nations are disproportionately impacted, and this impact is predicted to increase as the effects of climate change unfold. Few effective monitoring and mitigation strategies exist for ciguatera fish poisoning, and reporting rates of the disease are estimated to be approximately 20% at best. A global ciguatera strategy was developed by a group of researchers coordinated by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission to characterise the cause and mode of action of ciguatera fish poisoning, as a matter of urgency. In this study, we designed a qPCR assay to detect a species of microalgae, Gambierdiscus lapillus. Gambierdiscus lapillus produces compounds with ciguatoxin-like properties, which may lead to ciguatoxin uptake in fish in the Australian region. This assay was sensitive and able to detect the presence of Gambierdiscus lapillus in a range of environmental samples from the Great Barrier Reef region, Australia." @default.
