Article Synopsis
  • Consumption of seafood contaminated by phycotoxins from harmful algae, like V. rugosum, poses significant public health risks, with a focus on neurotoxins called pinnatoxins (PnTXs).
  • The study developed linear mixed models based on environmental data from four Mediterranean lagoons to predict the presence of V. rugosum and PnTX G contamination in mussels, finding strong correlations with seawater temperature.
  • Results indicated that 25% of mussel consumers might exceed safe dietary limits during warmer months, leading to recommendations for ongoing monitoring of these harmful algae and toxins.
