Mekanisme Keracunan Saraf Akibat Konsumsi Kerang-kerangan yang Terkontaminasi Dinoflagellata Beracun (Studi Literatur)
Abstract: Dinoflagellata is
a micro algae
where live in
water habitat and
about 30 species
can produce poison material called
“sax toxin”. Organic
water pollution is
one of a
stimulant agent blooming
algae that is caused
by nutrient abundance.
Poison mobility from
marine organisms to
human body usually
pass through food chain mechanism, where human ingestion contaminated
shellfish by toxin Dinoflagellata that produce
sax toxin. It’s toxin can be attack nerves membrane then rise of
paralytic. This virulence caused by bounding of conducive nerves trait.
Saxitoxin is poison where can be a block agent function to exclude Na+into
nerve membrane. Death rate by paralytic cases gain to 20% of human exposure.
