Mycotoxins have for long been associated with disease and death in animals, but because of the great variety of fungi present in animal feedstuffs and the detailed investigations needed to establish a causal relationship between mycotoxin and a clinical disease, few disease ...

SUMMARYMycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by microfungi that are capable of causing disease and death in humans and other animals. Because of their pharmacological activity, some mycotoxins or mycotoxin derivatives have found use as antibiotics, growth promotants, and other kinds of drugs; still others have been implicated as chemical ...

Climate Change—A Global Threat Resulting in Increasing Mycotoxin Occurrence
During the last decade, scientists have given increasingly frequent warnings about global warming, linking it to mycotoxin-producing moulds in various geographical regions across the world.

Invited review: Remediation strategies for mycotoxin control in feed
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of different species of fungi. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN) and fumonisin B1 (FB1) are the main mycotoxins contaminating animal feedstuffs.

Improved normalization of species count data in ecology by scaling with ranked subsampling (SRS): application to microbial communities [PDF]
Background Analysis of species count data in ecology often requires normalization to an identical sample size. Rarefying (random subsampling without replacement), which is the current standard method for normalization, has been widely criticized for its ...

Six Main Contributing Factors to High Levels of Mycotoxin Contamination in African Foods
Africa is one of the regions with high mycotoxin contamination of foods and continues to record high incidences of liver cancers globally. The agricultural sector of most African countries depends largely on climate variables for crop production ...
