2023年2月19日 · Evidence shows that the dose and duration of aflatoxin exposure significantly affect toxicology. Exposure to large doses, known as acute aflatoxicosis, can lead to critical illness and death. High-level exposure produces acute hepatic necrosis, resulting in sequelae of cirrhosis or HCC afterward.

Aflatoxicosis is a worldwide mycotoxicosis with production of potent hepatotoxins on animal feed both in the field and storage during hot temperatures (drought) and often occurs concurrent with insect damage to crops.

Aflatoxins are various poisonous carcinogens and mutagens that are produced by certain molds, particularly Aspergillus species mainly by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. According to the USDA, "They are probably the best known and …

Aflatoxicoses is a disease caused by aflatoxin consumption and acute aflatoxicosis resulted in death. However, chronic aflatoxicosis is associated with immune suppression, cancer and other reproductive disorders. The liver damage occurred when poultry, rodents, fish, and other animals are fed aflatoxin B1.

2024年8月19日 · At high levels, aflatoxins can cause illness (aflatoxicosis), liver damage, and death in pets. The toxins can be present even if there is no visible mold on the pet food. Pets that eat food...

Aflatoxins are the mycotoxins of the greatest concern to food safety due to their wide distribution in foods and feeds and their high toxicities. Since their discovery, aflatoxins have been associated with liver cancer, with peanut, maize and their derivatives being the main vehicles.

Aflatoxicosis is a health condition caused by exposure to aflatoxins, which are harmful substances produced by certain molds found on crops like maize, peanuts, and tree nuts. These molds can grow in hot and humid environments, contaminating the food we consume.
