Reference standards for a specific, reliable and early detection of the marine toxins that causes ciguatera disease (CIGUALERT)

Start date: Jul 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The worldwide most common type of marine foodborne intoxications is Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CFP) caused by the consumption of fish contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs).It is estimated that affects up to 500,000 persons poisoned, annually.

Development of a Rapid Test Kit and supporting Reference Standards Capable of Detecting the Emerging Fish toxin Ciguatoxin in European and Global Waters (CIGUATOOLS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

This proposal, CiguaTools has been developed to deal with a serious emerging problem thought by many to be caused by climate change.
