Título: | Marine harmful algal blooms and observed human health effects - what is the evidence? |
Autor: | Young, Nick; Sharpe, Richard A.; Barciela, Rosa; Nichols, Gordon; Davidson, Keith; Berdalet, Elisa CSIC ORCID ; Fleming, Lora E. | Fecha de publicación: | 14-dic-2021 | Editor: | Universität München | Citación: | Dinophyte Seminars (2021) | Resumen: | Exposure to harmful algal blooms (HABs) can lead to well recognised acute patterns of illness in humans. We carried out a scoping review using established methodology to map the evidence for associations between marine HABs and observed both acute and chronic human health effects. A systematic and reproducible search of publications from 1985 until May 2019 was conducted using diverse electronic databases. Following de-duplication, 5301 records were identified, of which 380 were included in the final qualitative synthesis. Most studies (220; 57.9%) related to Ciguatera Poisoning. Anecdotal and case reports were the most frequent study types (242; 63.7%), whereas there were fewer formal epidemiological studies (35; 9.2%). Only four studies related to chronic exposure to HABs. Few studies reported the use of human specimens for confirmation of the cause of illness (32; 8.4%). This study highlighted gaps in the evidence base including a lack of formal surveillance and epidemiological studies, limited use of toxin measurements in human samples, and a scarcity of studies of chronic exposure. Future research and policy should provide a baseline understanding of the burden of human disease to inform the evaluation of the current and future impacts of climate change and HABs on human health. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/275028 |
