    Area of Science:

    • Marine biology
    • Tropical medicine
    • Food safety

    Background:

    • Reviews historical literature on a specific type of fish poisoning.
    • Highlights that the poisoning is characteristic of consuming perfectly fresh fish.
    • Mentions the clinical features and discusses the aetiology of the poisoning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive historical review of tropical fish poisoning.
    • To discuss the aetiology and clinical presentation of this foodborne illness.
    • To propose a new epidemiological model and suggest preventative health-care measures.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical literature review.
    • Analysis of clinical features.
    • Development of an epidemiological model.

    Main Results:

    • Identified a specific type of fish poisoning prevalent in tropical regions.
    • Discussed the characteristic association with consumption of fresh fish.
    • Reported a novel epidemiological model for this poisoning.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding the aetiology and epidemiology is crucial for prevention.
    • The proposed model can aid in identifying risk factors.
    • Preventative health-care measures are essential to mitigate public health risks.
