Humans are affected by CFP after eating reef fish containing the naturally occurring toxins known collectively as ciguatoxins(CTXs).
Gambierdiscus
Other toxic species of different genera often occur associated in a benthic dinoflagellate assemblage, such as Ostreopsis, Prorocentrum, Amphidinium, and Coolia .
