Cyanobacterial blooms are a global problem for freshwater ecosystemsused for drinking water supply and recreational purposes. Cyanobacteria alsoproduce a wide variety of toxic secondary metabolites, called cyanotoxins. ...

This book is the result of the collaborative work between Argentinean researchers and the Ministry of Health who constituted the “Working Group on Health Effects of Cyanobacteria in Water” intended to raise the awareness ...

The aim of the present research was to summarize the main reasons that explain the distribution of harmful blooms of cyanobacteria in Argentina. It is a large territory with climates ranging from humid tropical to cold ...

Cyanobacterial blooms are threatening freshwater ecosystems. The physiological basis involved in the onset of cyanobacterial bloom is fundamental to advance in bloom predictions. Generally, cyanobacteria grow until the ...

Cyanobacterial blooms have increased in coastal waters worldwide, facilitated by excessive nutrient input and apparently global warming. They exert negative consequences in marine ecosystems, communities and habitats. ...

In this study, we analyse the spatial distribution of cyanobacterial summer blooms in a large subtropical reservoir located in the Uruguay River, from 2007 to 2011; these extraordinary algal growth events are mainly ...

Toxic cyanobacterial blooms are globally increasing with negative effects on aquatic ecosystems, water use and human health. Blooms' main driving forces are eutrophication, dam construction, urban waste, replacement of ...
