A phylogenetic re-analysis of groupers with applications for ciguatera fish poisoning.
<h4>Background</h4>Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is a significant public health problem due to dinoflagellates. It is responsible for one of the highest reported incidence of seafood-borne illness and Groupers are commonly reported as a source of CFP due to their position in the food ch...

In this context and to improve the monitoring of fish trade and safety, we need to obtain extensive data on contamination at the species level. Accurate species identifications through DNA barcoding are thus an essential tool in controlling CFP since meal remnants in CFP cases can be easily identified with molecular tools.Charlotte SchoelinckDamien D HinsingerAgnès DettaïCorinne CruaudJean-Lou JustinePublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 9, Iss 8, p e98198 (2014) |
