Azaspiracid shellfish poisoning(AZP) is a foodborne intoxication associated with the consumption of contaminated shellfish harvested from waters affected by growth of certain types of toxic algae.... AZP is caused by the ingestion of toxins that accumulate in certain types of shellfish that have been feeding on the algae that produce the toxins. AZP is a form of food poisoning with symptoms typical of gastroenteritis, broadly similar to DSP [diarrhetic shellfish poisoning]. 3, record 1, English, - azaspiracid%20shellfish%20poisoning

Choléra morbus.

Elle se manifeste par des vomissements, des crampes abdominales et une diarrhée. Lorsqu'elle survient chez le nourrisson, à la suite d'une infection intestinale, elle se présente sous une forme très brutale, parfois dramatique, et la déshydratation intense qu'entraîne la diarrhée provoque un effondrement de l'état général, autrefois fréquemment mortel.
