Ciguatera is a global disease caused by the consumption of certain warm-water fish (ciguateric fish) that have accumulated orally effective levels of sodium channel activator toxins (ciguatoxins) through the marine food chain. Symptoms of ciguatera include a range of gastrointestinal, neurological and cardiovascular disturbances. This review examines progress in our understanding of ciguatera from the work of Banner in the late 1950s to the present. Similarities and differences in ciguatera in the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and Caribbean Sea are highlighted, and future research directions are suggested.
雪卡毒素中毒是一种全球性疾病，由食用某些暖水鱼类（雪卡毒鱼）引起，这些鱼类通过海洋食物链积累了口服有效剂量的钠通道激活毒素（雪卡毒素）。雪卡毒素中毒的症状包括一系列胃肠道、神经和心血管紊乱。本综述考察了自20世纪50年代末班纳的研究工作至今，我们对雪卡毒素中毒的认识进展。文中强调了太平洋、印度洋和加勒比海雪卡毒素中毒情况的异同，并提出了未来的研究方向。
