Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi in a wide range of foods (cereals, peanut, tree nuts, dried fruits, coffee, cocoa, grapes, spices) both in the field and after harvest, particularly during storage. They can also be found in processed foods of plant origin, …
"There is an ever-increasing demand for more food but one of the stumbling blocks to achieving this goal is quality and quantity losses due to various pests and pathogens and the mycotoxins synthesized by these harmful biotic entities. Thus far, strategies employed to manage the…

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a neurotoxic, immunotoxic, and teratogenic mycotoxin produced by many Aspergilli and Penicillia. These organisms infect several plant species at pre-harvest and post-harvest and produce OTA in the infected crops. To date, little is known about the mechanism…
Experiments were carried out to assess the effects of feed-borne Fusarium mycotoxins with or without the presence of coccidian challenge on the metabolism and performance of broiler chickens and turkey poults. The efficacy of a polymeric glucomannan mycotoxin adsorbent (GMA) in …
The objectives of this project were to develop an immune assessment panel that would adequately evaluate the immune status of birds consuming mycotoxin contaminated diets, and to evaluate immune responses in chicks and turkeys, fed the Fusarium mycotoxins, fumonisin B\sb1 (FB\sb…
First published in 1997. Natural toxicants are the subject of research throughout the world, and they are used for many purposes. The Handbook of Plant and Fungal Toxicants presents a wide range of compounds and considers how they relate to food safety, therapeutic purposes in m…
