Carryover of Aflatoxin From Dairy Feed to Milk: A Systematic Review (1 January 2004–31 December 2024)

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aflatoxins, toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus species, are frequently reported contaminants of dairy cattle feed worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where climatic conditions favor fungal growth, and they can be transferred into milk and dairy products.

Diversity of Mycotoxins in Stored Paddy Rice: Contamination Patterns in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam

Toxins
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important food in Vietnam. However, rice is often lost in post-harvest due to fungal growth and mycotoxins contamination. This study aimed to evaluate mycotoxin contamination in stored paddy rice collected in 2018, 2019,

Sterigmatocystin an emerging mycotoxin – a comprehensive review

Lebda Medical Journal
Background: Sterigmatocystin (STC) is an indoor air and food mycotoxin contaminant, which formed by several fungal genera, most notably Aspergillus species. It is responsible for human esophageal, gastric and lung cancer.  It is grouped as Group 2B carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), STC shares structural and ...

Effects of Atmospheric CO2 Levels on the Susceptibility of Maize to Diverse Pathogens

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rising atmospheric CO2 has significant implications for crop productivity and food security. Based on studies in C3 plants, elevated CO2 (eCO2) can shape plant‐pathogen interactions, although the outcomes are often variable. The question of how eCO2 influences immunity and disease development in C4 plants, such as the globally important cereal

Immunomodulatory and Cytotoxic Properties of Enniatin B1 in Porcine Alveolar Macrophages

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 9, Page 3220-3231, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the immunomodulatory effects of Enniatin B1 (ENNB1), an emerging mycotoxin, on porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), a species‐specific model relevant to human innate immunity. PAMs were exposed to increasing ENNB1 concentrations (0.5–6 μM) over 6, 24, and 48 h.

Investigation of Aspergillus flavus Infection and Aflatoxin Accumulation in Pulses During Growth and Development

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aflatoxins (AFL) are mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus that pose major risks to food safety. This study evaluated fungal growth and AFL production in planta across the following five pulse species: chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.), lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.), peas (Pisum sativum L.), soybeans (Glycine max L.), and with corn (Zea ...

Harnessing of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Pomace Powder on Growth Response and Haematological Indices of Sonali Chickens

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Dried tomato pomace powder is evaluated as a functional feed additive for Sonali chickens under tropical conditions. Dietary supplementation up to 6% improves growth performance, feed efficiency, carcass yield, serum lipid profile and economic return without adverse haematological effects.

Recent and Promising Strategies for Robust, Sustainable, and Cost‐Friendly Production of Yogurt With Superior Quality

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Yogurt is one of the most technologically mature fermented dairy products on the market, traditionally prepared using the two lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. Global demand for yogurt continues to rise, driven by consumer interest in healthy, high‐protein diets with as few ...

Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted by Fungi Have Substantial Effects on Growth and Disease Resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 7168-7190, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by certain fungi have previously been suggested to modulate plant development and their response to stresses. While some fungal species, such as Trichoderma harzianum, are known to produce VOCs, the production of VOCs in other phylogenetically divergent species, such as Mucor mucedo, was previously ...
