Aflatoxins
A poisonous carcinogen produced by specific Aspergillus moulds, aflatoxins can grow in soil, decomposing vegetation, hay
and grains. If an aflatoxin contaminates feed which is then ingested by an animal, it has the potential to pass aflatoxin
transformation products into animal products such as milk, eggs and meat.

Mycotoxins 2024
Alternaria Toxins
Major plant pathogens (common allergens in humans that can cause hay fever, hypersensitivity reactions and even asthma).
This species also produces mycotoxins, which have been shown to be mutagenic and toxic, contaminating mainly fruits and
vegetables and causing a huge 20% of agricultural spoilage.

Mycotoxins 2024
Ergot Alkaloids
A large group of compounds produced by fungi which, during growing season, attack an array of grass species including
small grains. Ergotism, or St Anthony’s Fire, is one of the oldest known mycotoxicoses, caused by long-term ergot poisoning
(traditionally by ingesting contaminated products).

Fumonisins
A group of toxins that typically affect maize products, although they have also been reported in other grains such as rice, wheat and barley.
Fumonisins have been linked to several health issues in humans and animals, including the possibility of cancer and birth defects.

Fusarium and Related Toxins
A large genus of filamentous fungi that is part of a group often referred to as hyphomycetes. They are widely distributed in soil
and associated with plants. Most species of fusarium are harmless saprobes and relatively abundant soil microbes. But some
produce mycotoxins in cereal crops. These can be harmful to humans and animals if they enter the food chain.

Lactones
Patulin is toxic to many biological systems, including bacteria, mammalian cell cultures, tall plants and animals – but its role
in causing animal and human disease is still unclear. It has a lactone structure and has been shown to be carcinogenic when
injected intradermally into mice. Patulin is produced by many Penicillium and Aspergillus species along with Byssochlamys
nivea. Penicillium expansum, which often occurs in decomposing apples, produces patulin. This has caused a real public health
concern as it has been found in commercial apple juice and other apple products. Patulin also appears to be unstable in grains,
cured meats and cheese.

Ochratoxins
A group of mycotoxins produced by some Aspergillus species, largely Aspergillus A. Ochratoxin A is the most prevalent and
relevant fungal toxin of this group and is known to occur in cereals, coffee, dried fruit, red wine and more. It can potentially be
a human carcinogen and is of special interest as it can accumulate in animal meat. Contaminated meat and meat products
can cause acute toxicity in mammalian kidneys.

Trichothecenes
A group of over 150 chemically-related mycotoxins, these are toxic to humans, birds, fish, many invertebrates, plants, eukaryotic
cells and other mammals. The toxicity varies, depending on the specific toxin and animal species, but a significant part of the
lethality stems from the route of administration. The effects of the poisoning will depend on the duration, concentration and
mode of exposure. Hazardous concentrations of trichothecenes have been detected in corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice, rye,
vegetables and other crops. Contamination can cause diseases including seed rot, seedling blight, root rot, stalk rot and ear rot.
