Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is endemic in certain tropical and subtropical regions of the world. CFP had not been described on the West Africa Coast until a 2004 outbreak in the Canary Islands. In 2008-2009, two additional outbreaks of ciguatera occurred. Individuals afflicted had consumed lesser amberjack (Seriola rivoliana) captured from nearby waters. Caribbean ciguatoxin-1 (C-CTX-1) was confirmed in fish samples by LC-MS/MS. Ciguatoxic fish in this region may pose a new health risk for the seafood consumer.
雪卡鱼中毒(CFP)在世界某些热带和亚热带地区流行。直到 2004 年在加那利群岛爆发的一次疫情,西非海岸才首次描述了这种疾病。2008 年至 2009 年,又发生了两起雪卡鱼中毒疫情。受感染的个体食用了来自附近水域捕获的少量黄鳍金枪鱼(Seriola rivoliana)。通过 LC-MS/MS 在鱼样本中证实了加勒比海雪卡毒素-1(C-CTX-1)的存在。该地区的雪卡毒性鱼类可能对海鲜消费者构成新的健康风险。
