Abstract

Ciguatera is a toxin-related disease caused by ingestion of a variety of toxic fish living in tropical or subtropical areas. This article aims to look at the epidemiology of the disease, from both the descriptive and analytical points of view, and to discuss them in relation to environmental aspects and socioeconomic impact.
