Understanding Mycotoxin Occurrence in Food and Feed Chains

Dear Colleagues,

Health risks related to mycotoxins have increasingly needed to be considered in recent years; research activity moved from monitoring mycotoxins and associated fungi, to using a system approach. The patho-system has, for example, been extensively studied in order to take advantage of powerful tools available for understanding host-fungi interaction and resulting metabolites. Increasing knowledge frequently leads to the discovery of where gaps need to be filled and the endless discovery of compounds and affected matrices show that new research is currently needed. Nevertheless, several steps have been taken to explain the occurrence of mycotoxins and this is crucial for mitigation actions and for minimizing human and animal exposure.
