Occurrence of saxitoxins and an anatoxin-a(s)-like anticholinesterase in a Brazilian drinking water supply (2005, background): “Since the hemodialysis accident in Caruaru city (Azevedo et al., 2002) more attention has been given to the possible presence of cyanobacteria in the drinking water supplies in Pernambuco State.”
Status, causes and controls of cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Erie (2014, background): “animal intoxications, and have proven fatal to both animals, and in limited cases, humans (Azevedo et al. 2002; Jochimsen et al. 1998).”
State of knowledge and concerns on cyanobacterial blooms and cyanotoxins. (2013, background): “…(Kuiper-Goodman et al., 1999; Teixeira et al., 1993) but, when water containing the toxin was used for hemodialysis, MCs also caused the death of 60 patients at the Brazilian dialysis centre of Caruaru in 1996 (Azevedo et al., 2002; Jochimsen et al., 1998; Pouria et al., 1998; Yuan et al., 2006).”
Methods and Approaches Used for Detection of Cyanotoxins in Environmental Samples: A Review (2013, methodology): “A high volume of water was used in this case that helped the toxins to reach the bloodstream directly, leading to acute intoxication (Azevedo et al., 2002; Jochimsen et al., 1998).”
