Microcystins and Daily Sunlight: Predictors of Chronic Liver Disease and Cirrhosis Mortality

2019-07-03

Abstract excerpt

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) may rapidly propagate under favorable conditions, forming dense blooms. As water blooms deteriorate, blue-green algae can generate potent toxins, potentially harmful to companion animals, wildlife, and even humans. One widely recognized cyanobacterial toxin is microcystin. This algal toxin has been implicated in surface waters globally, increasing liver cancer and/or disease risk a...
