Abstract

Mycotoxins are a group of secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi, which may cause health hazards to animals and human beings. These mycotoxins are diverse in their structure and biological activity and can be produced on cereals and grains during their growing stage or harvesting and postharvesting stages. When mycotoxin-contaminated grains are consumed, they can cause severe ill health effects in humans and animals including livestock. Among the mycotoxin-producing fungal species, Fusarium species are one of the most considerable ones due to their incidence, diverse toxigenic nature, and its health effects ranging from acute skin lesions to cancers. The purpose of the present review is to provide an update on the toxigenic Fusarium species, their harmful effects, and toxicity of fusarialtoxins as well as their detection from food and feed samples.
