Aflatoxigenic Fungi : Its Impact on Plant, Animal and Human Health by A. Sankara Narayanan
Aflatoxigenic fungi, primarily belonging to the Aspergillus genus (A. flavus, A. parasiticus), are responsible for producing aflatoxins-highly toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites. These fungi pose significant risks to plant health, animal health, and human well-being due to their widespread contamination of food and feed. Aflatoxigenic fungi impact plants by causing diseases, and yield loss leads to economic loss and contamination. In connection with animals, aflatoxigenic fungi create toxicity in livestock, contamination of animal products, mortality, and economic loss. Finally, concerning humans, aflatoxigenic fungi lead to acute toxicity, carcinogenic effects, immune suppression, and nutritional risk. Features: Provides a systemic review of the recent developments in aflatoxigenic fungi on various biotic organismsIncludes an overview of the impact of aflatoxins on various plants and on the agricultural economyDescribes the role of aflatoxins in human health, including infants and in cancerContains special emphasis on the control of aflatoxigenic fungi by nanomaterials and plant bioactive componentsDiscusses the detection of aflatoxigenic fungi by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)
