Aflatoxigenic Fungi

Its Impact on Plant, Animal and Human Health

The proposed book will compile the recent development and the updated overview about the Aflatoxigenic fungi and its impact on plant, animal and human health including various agricultural soil, food crops and advanced methods involved in the detection of Aflatoxigenic fungi.

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 organisms
• Includes an overview of the impact of aflatoxins on various plants and on the agricultural economy
• Describes the role of aflatoxins in human health, including infants and in cancer
• Contains special emphasis on the control of aflatoxigenic fungi by nanomaterials and plant bioactive components
• Discusses the detection of aflatoxigenic fungi by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)
