Food

Fungal
Intoxications
-
Mycotoxins -Mycotoxins
are
fungal
metabolites
elaborated
by
fungi
and
which
are
effective
against
both
animals
and
birds.
A
variety
of
fungi
are
known
to
produce
mycotoxins
and
these
include
aspergilli,
penicilli,
Rhizopus
and
fusana.
It
now
appears
that
most
fungi
have
the
potential
to
produce
a
toxin
under
one
set
of
conditions
or
the
other.
The
syndrome
that
results
from
the
ingestion
of
the
toxin
containing
food
is
referred
to
as mycotoxicosis.
