Primary irritant and delayed-contact hypersensitivity reactions to the freshwater cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii and its associated toxin cylindrospermopsin

Ian Stewart, Alan A Seawright, Philip J Schluter, Glen R Shaw BMC Dermatology 2006, 6:5 (31 March 2006)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central |  Editor’s summary

Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii produces hypersensitivity reactions in mouse ear tests, unlike other toxic, non-cylindrospermopsin-producing cyanobacteria, suggesting that testing for this strain should be considered for recreationally used bodies of water.
