Offering a complete reference guide, \u003cb\u003eSeafood and Freshwater Toxins: Pharmacology, Physiology, and Detection, Third Edition\u003c\/b\u003e addresses all aspects of the social and scientific influence of phytotoxins, from legislation and monitoring to new drug development. Covering many new topics, the book examines three main aspects: monitoring of toxins; chemical, mechanistic, and toxicological diversity; and detection technologies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNew to this edition: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003e35 new chapters and 5 updated chapters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA focus on state-of-the-art methodology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoverage of new technologies to cultivate algae and to identify, isolate, and quantify toxins\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegulatory changes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimate change evidence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpanded information on toxicology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I of the book includes an overview and reviews general issues related to toxin detection, ecology, and diversity, and effects of climate change. Part II covers impacts of toxins regarding epidemiology, toxicology, economics, and surveillance. Part III explores available detection technologies, such as functional assays, biosensors, mass spectrometry, nanotechnology, and more. In addition, standard reference materials for toxins are discussed. Parts IV to VI provide detailed descriptions of toxin chemical diversity, biological sources, and modes of action. Part VII addresses the use of toxins as starting points for therapeutic drugs for cancer, neurological disorders, and for novel antibiotics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luis M.
