Effect of Field-applied Fungicides on Claviceps purpurea Sclerotia and Associated Toxins in Wheat
Journal of Food Protection, 2023 Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul is the causal organism for ergot impacting grass hosts, including wheat. The pathogen produces ergot alkaloids (EAs) during the development of mature sclerotia leading to potential wheat quality discounts or rejection at the ...

Ergochromes: Heretofore Neglected Side of Ergot Toxicity
Toxins, 2019 Ergot, fungal genus Claviceps, are worldwide distributed grass pathogens known for their production of toxic ergot alkaloids (EAs) and the great agricultural impact they have on both cereal crop and farm animal production.

Vasoactive Effects of Acute Ergot Exposure in Sheep
Toxins, 2021 Ergotism is a common and increasing problem in Saskatchewan’s livestock. Chronic exposure to low concentrations of ergot alkaloids is known to cause severe arterial vasoconstriction and gangrene through the activation of adrenergic and serotonergic ...

Fate of Ergot Alkaloids during Laboratory Scale Durum Processing and Pasta Production
Toxins, 2019 The fate of ergot alkaloids during the milling of durum and subsequent production and cooking of pasta was examined. Durum samples containing varying amounts of ergot sclerotia (0.01–0.1% by mass) were milled, and all milling product was analyzed ...

Ergot Alkaloids on Cereals and Seeds: Analytical Methods, Occurrence, and Future Perspectives
Molecules, 2023 Ergot alkaloids are secondary metabolites resulting from fungi of the genus Claviceps that have proven to be highly toxic. These mycotoxins commonly infect cereal crops such as wheat, rye, barley, and oats.

Ergot alkaloids contribute to virulence in an insect model of invasive aspergillosis
Scientific Reports, 2017 Neosartorya fumigata (Aspergillus fumigatus) is the most common cause of invasive aspergillosis, a frequently fatal lung disease primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals. This opportunistic fungal pathogen produces several classes of specialised
