La ciguatera es un tipo de intoxicación alimentaria causada por el consumo de especies de invertebrados y peces que han acumulado ciguatoxinas en sus tejidos. Estas neurotoxinas, inicialmente producidas por especies de dinoflagelados pertenecientes a los géneros Gambierdiscus y Fukuyoa, son posteriormente biotransformadas, bioacumuladas y biomagnificadas a medida que se transfieren a través de las tramas tróficas hasta llegar potencialmente al ser humano. En este trabajo se hace una revisión sobre las investigaciones relacionadas con la ciguatera en la costa oeste del océano Atlántico, que incluye la región del mar Caribe, el golfo de México y el Atlántico noroeste. Se tratan y aclaran tanto aspectos históricos como científicos, que han sido replicados con inexactitud en la literatura científica. Se abordan además las estrategias para el control y manejo de la intoxicación en la región, haciendo énfasis en la legislación vigente en Cuba y en la necesidad de su revisión y actualización.
