Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mycotoxin contamination in animal feed reduces the feed’s nutritional value, affects animal productivity, and can cause animals’ death. Moreover, the carry-over of mycotoxin from animal feed to animal-derived food can pose potential hazards to human health. Thus, it is of great significance to develop detection technology to monitor mycotoxin contamination in animal feed and food, and to clarify the toxicological effects and mechanisms of mycotoxins in animals and humans. This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in the analytical approaches and toxicology of mycotoxins, including but not limited to the following research topics: novel immunoassays, biosensors, instrumental analytical methods for mycotoxins in animal feed and food; the level or prevalence of mycotoxins in animal feed and food; and the toxicological effects and potential mechanisms of mycotoxins on domestic and model animals. As mycotoxins generally co-contaminate animal feed, and masked mycotoxins account for a large part of mycotoxin contamination, research works about the multiplex analytical approaches, the toxicokinetics of masked mycotoxins, and the combined toxicological effect and mechanism of co-contaminated mycotoxins are especially welcomed in this Special Issue.
