Genetic Profiling of Aspergillus Isolates with Varying Aflatoxin Production Potential from Different Maize-Growing Regions of Kenya

Toxins, 2019
Highly toxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus have been reported to frequently contaminate maize, causing fatal aflatoxin poisoning in Kenya. To gain insights into the environmental and genetic factors that influence toxigenicity, fungi (n = 218) that ...

Advance of toxic effect and detoxification methods of common mycotoxins in feed

Siliao yanjiu, 2021
Aflatoxin B1 and zearalenone are the most common and harmful mycotoxins in feed, which cause animal growth retardation, low feed efficiency, immune inhibition, acute or chronic poisoning, reproductive decline. The article reviews the effect of aflatoxin

Biodiversity of mycotoxigenic aspergillus species in Egyptian peanuts and strategies for minimizing aflatoxin contamination [PDF]

, 2010
Peanuts are an important crop grown in Egypt for either local consumption or export to European markets. The present study examined the importance of mycotoxigenic Aspergilli in Egyptian peanuts from five different regions (Alexandria, El-Beheira, El-

Postweaning exposure to aflatoxin results in impaired child growth: A longitudinal study in Benin, west Africa [PDF]

, 2004
Aflatoxins are dietary contaminants that are hepatocarcinogenic and immunotoxic and cause growth retardation in animals, but there is little evidence concerning the latter two parameters in exposed human populations.

MicroRNA regulates the toxicological mechanism of four mycotoxins in vivo and in vitro

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022
Mycotoxins can cause body poisoning and induce carcinogenesis, often with a high mortality rate. Therefore, it is of great significance to seek new targets that indicate mycotoxin activity and to diagnose and intervene in mycotoxin-induced diseases in ...
