Abstract：
The dinoflagellates of the genus Gambierdiscus are found in almost all oceans and seas between the coordinates 35° N and 35° S. Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa are producers of ciguatoxins (CTXs), which are known to cause foodborne disease associated with contaminated seafood. The occurrence and effects of CTXs are well described in the Pacific and the Caribbean. However, historically, their properties and presence have been poorly documented in the Indian Ocean (including the Bay of Bengal, Andaman Sea, and the Gulf). A higher occurrence of these microorganisms will proportionately increase the likelihood of CTXs entering the food chain, posing a severe threat to human seafood consumers. Therefore, comprehensive research strategies are critically important for developing effective monitoring and risk assessments of this emerging threat in the Indian Ocean. This review presents the available literature on ciguatera occurrence in the region and its adjacent marginal waters: aiming to identify the data gaps and vectors.
摘要：
Gambierdiscus属的鞭毛藻在坐标35°N和35°S之间的几乎所有海洋中都发现。Gambierdiscus和Fukuyoa是雪茄毒素（CTX）的生产者，已知会导致与受污染的海鲜有关的食源性疾病。太平洋和加勒比地区已很好地描述了CTX的发生和影响。然而,历史上,他们的财产和存在在印度洋(包括孟加拉湾，安达曼海,和海湾）。这些微生物的较高发生率将按比例增加CTX进入食物链的可能性，对人类海鲜消费者构成严重威胁。因此,全面的研究战略对于对印度洋这一新兴威胁进行有效的监测和风险评估至关重要。这篇综述介绍了有关该地区及其附近边缘水域发生的雪卡病毒的现有文献：旨在确定数据缺口和矢量。
