Abstract in brief

  • The paper reviews research from the past decade on how Florida red tides, caused by the organism Karenia brevis, produce toxins called brevetoxins that can affect human health.
  • Long-term, interdisciplinary studies have helped identify health risks, develop protection measures for communities, and even lead to advances in natural chemistry and pharmaceuticals.
  • The review discusses the biology of the red tide organisms and their toxins, as well as how these toxins impact animals and humans, providing insights into potential health effects in affected populations.
