Review Marine biotoxins and associated outbreaks following seafood consumption: prevention and surveillance in the 21st century Supplementary data: Types of poisoning and description of outbreaks 2. 2 CFP: ciguatoxins (CTXs), maitotoxins (MTXs), gambierol Europe Two clusters of CFP occurred in (France) in 2001. Both were related to consumption of and caught in Guadeloupe (French West Indies). The first one Sphyraena barracuda Lutjanus griseus involved 8 persons and the second two individuals. According to the authors, the presence of CTXs in both incidents was also suspected by the use of an MBA protocol specifically designed for the detection of toxicity due to ciguatoxins (). Based on visual observations of the mice (death time, loss in body weight) it could be concluded that the levels of ciguatoxin were the highest in the barracuda. Eleven fishermen got intoxicated and showed symptoms typical of those of ciguatera after consumption of caught at the Selvagens Islands (Madeira, Portugal). While no information Seriola spp. on the levels of CTXs present in the above mentioned fish is available, LC-MS/MS analysis was performed on two caught in the same area in 2009 and revealed levels of CTXs above the Seriola spp. EU regulatory limits (). In 2009, in the port of Hamburg (Germany), 15 sailors presented gastrointestinal or neurological symptoms after having eaten fish (Caranx and caught in the sexfasciatus Cephalopholis miniata) Caribbean. The presence of CTXs in the fish was confirmed through LC-MS/MS analysis performed
