The Effect of Anatoxin-a on Mice’s Body Systems During FHABs

Abstract

Currently, freshwater resources are a threat by the freshwater harmful algal blooms(FHABs) and human impact. Among the effects of FHABs, the harmful caused by cyanobacteria. The cyanobacteria are very obvious because they can produce cyanotoxin (dermatoxins, hepatotoxins, and neurotoxins) and anatoxin-a. It is most likely to cause death in humans and animals. Also, anatoxin-a has been implicated in animal mortality and can cause death in minutes. As a result, it is essential to research anatoxin-a, one of the neurotoxins, from three distinct aspects: mode of action and chronic or sublethal effects.
