Haemato-biochemical and pathological studies on aflatoxicosis and treatment of broiler chicks in Egypt [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of protexin (probiotic), inulin (prebiotic) and both (synbiotics), when included in a diet containing aflatoxins and fed to growing broiler chicks (from 1 to 21 days old).

Micronutrient deficiencies and aflatoxin exposure remain high among children under five in developing countries. However, few studies have assessed the association between these factors in East Africa, particularly in agro‐pastoralist societies where maize and animal foods (highly susceptible to aflatoxin contamination) are staple foods.

Point mutations of the P53 gene, human hepatocellular carcinoma and aflatoxins [PDF]
The tumor suppressor p53 exerts important protective functions towards DNA-damaging agents. Its inactivation by allelic deletions or point mutations within the P53 gene as well as complex formation of wildtype p53 with cellular or viral proteins is a ...

Summary Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans is the most serious disease of potatoes. Here we present the effectiveness of the host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) technology against an amino acid biosynthesis gene of the pathogen to increase the resistance against the plant‐infecting oomycete in the field.
