Fykotoxiny mořského původu jsou produkovány toxigenními řasami a sinicemi, které představují obvyklou potravu pro řadu mořských živočichů, kteří se pak sami stávají toxickými. V posledních letech jsou předmětem zvýšeného zájmu, zejména proto, že se cestou potravního řetězce dostávají do výrobků z mořských živočichů, a tak působí u lidí onemocnění, která jsou vzhledem k současným znalostem obtížně léčitelná. Riziko onemocnění způsobeného toxigenními řasami a sinicemi vzrůstá vzhledem ke zvýšené migraci obyvatelstva i vzhledem k vysílání vojenských misí do nestabilních oblastí světa. Takové aktivity mohou vyvolat rozsáhlá zdravotní poškození somatického i psychického rázu. Jsou nastíněny možnosti a význam preventivních opatření, jejich dodržování, zvláště pro vojenské mise.

Keywords: ASP toxin; AZP (AZA) toxin; DSP toxin; NSP toxin; Ciguatera toxin; Saxitoxin; Tetrodotoxin; Fykotoxin

The marine microalgae producing the phycotoxins are common food for many marine animals which then themselves become toxic. In the recent years an enhanced attention has been paid to the phycotoxins because they penetrate into the fishery products through feed chains and they can cause intoxication in humans the therapy of which is very difficult. The danger concerning toxigenic microalgae is growing as a consequence of the enhanced migration of population and military missions into unstable regions of the world. These activities can cause severe health impairment of somatic and psychological character. The possibilities and importance of preventive measures and their observance are outlined particularly for military missions.

Keywords: Amnesic shellfish poisoning toxin; Azaspiracid poisoning toxin; Diarrheic shellfish poisoning toxin; Neurotoxic shellfish poisoning toxin; Ciguatera toxin; Saxitoxin; Tetrodotoxin; Phycotoxin
