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
