Key Points

Identify the cyanobacterial taxa responsible for lethal microcystin production during a major cattle toxicosis event.
Investigated a lethal toxicosis outbreak in cattle exposed to a harmful cyanobacterial bloom.
Analyzed microcystin toxin concentrations and characterized Anabaena and Dolichospermum populations in the water source.
Identified Anabaena/Dolichospermum as the primary producers of lethal concentrations of microcystins.
Linked the lethal cattle poisoning directly to the ingestion of water contaminated with high microcystin levels.
