Toxin production: Some species of Nostocaceae cyanobacteria have the ability to produce cyanotoxins, which are harmful substances that can have adverse effects on human and animal health. Cyanotoxins produced by Nostocaceae cyanobacteria may include microcystins, nodularins, cylindrospermopsin, anatoxins, and saxitoxins. These toxins can cause a range of health effects, including gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), skin irritation, respiratory problems, liver damage, neurotoxic effects (such as seizures, paralysis), and allergic reactions. Chronic exposure to cyanotoxins has been associated with long-term health effects such as liver cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
Harmful algal blooms (HABs): Certain species of Nostocaceae cyanobacteria can form dense populations or blooms in aquatic environments, particularly in nutrient-rich waters with warm temperatures and calm conditions. These blooms, known as harmful algal blooms (HABs), can produce cyanotoxins, posing risks to humans and animals through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact during recreational activities such as swimming, boating, or fishing.
Water quality: Nostocaceae cyanobacterial blooms in surface waters can contaminate drinking water sources, posing risks to public health. Cyanotoxins can persist in water supplies even after treatment, and exposure to contaminated drinking water can cause acute and chronic health effects in humans. Monitoring and management of cyanobacterial blooms in drinking water sources are essential for ensuring safe drinking water quality.
Livestock and wildlife toxicity: Cyanotoxins produced by Nostocaceae cyanobacteria can also affect animals, including livestock, pets, fish, and wildlife, through ingestion of contaminated water or algae. Livestock poisoning from cyanobacterial toxins, known as cyanotoxicosis, can lead to illness or death in animals. Wildlife mortality events linked to cyanobacterial blooms have been reported in various ecosystems, affecting aquatic and terrestrial species.
