BACKGROUND The momentum of scientific paper publication toward mycotoxin is an increasing trend where 16,821 papers were recorded in Scopus since the first mycotoxin, aflatoxin (AF) was identified in the year 1965. Data clearly showed the significance of mycotoxin research which will be further discussed later in this review paper. Nevertheless, the global health issue arose from mycotoxin is still frequently ignored in many low-income countries, where mycotoxins affect staple...

Introduction It is well known that weeds can negatively affect agricultural production [1]. Weeds represent one of the greatest limiting factors for crop yield [2] since they can compete for resources such as water, light, nutrients and space, thereby diminishing plant growth [3, 4]. In addition, weeds may harbour other potentially harmful pests and pathogens that can affect economically important crops [5]. Weeds are conventionally controlled using manual, mechanical and...

1. Introduction Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is a monocotyledonous spice crop, believed to have originated in Persia. This spice has been cultivated since ancient times, and it is highly valued for its red stigmas. When dried, these stigmas, either with or without a yellow-white style portion attached, yield the spice, which possesses distinctive colouring, flavouring, and aromatic properties. The spice owes its colouring capacity, bitter taste, and pleasant aroma to its main...

Introduction Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a fungal disease of major concern to wheat production. In Brazil, the disease is caused by members of the Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC), which infect wheat florets and contaminate grains with dangerous mycotoxins (Del Ponte et al., 2015). These fungi are able to synthesize a range of mycotoxins such as trichothecenes, mainly deoxynivalenol (DON), and zearalenone (ZEA) (Bryden, 2012). Ochratoxin A (OTA) is not a Fusarium...

INTRODUCTION Sugarcane is one of the top ten food crops in the world and an important economic crop in many tropical countries [1]. Sugarcane is infested with many plant pathogens including fungi, bacteria, and viruses as well as, insect pests. The genus Fusarium is one of the most devastating plant pathogens producing several mycotoxins [2]. Two species of Fusarium including F. subglutinans and F. sacchariare well reported to cause Pokkahboeng disease of sugarcane. Fusarium...

Introduction: Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium spp. and is a common contaminant of grains worldwide. DON has been shown to increase susceptibility to viral infections. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of DON on porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) immunization and subsequent challenge infection in vivo. Materials and Methods: In total 38 piglets were divided into four groups. Group I (10...

Introduction: The FAO (1999) estimates that at least 25 % of world grain and seed production is contaminated by fungi and their mycotoxins, and are considered as one of the greatest risks that affect human and animal health. The fumonisins have been associated with certain diseases in animals such as the leucoencefalomalacia in equines (ELEM) and pig lung edema (PLE). The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (vPRRS) has economically impacted the national and...

Introduction: Body core temperature is an important clinical parameter for monitoring infections in mammals and can be measured with different devices. In practice rectal measurement is the standard method and equated to the body core. In order to investigate the constancy of the relationship between practical body core temperature (rectal) and abdominal temperature under physiological and pathophysiological conditions, we compared both devices in healthy pigs as well as...

Introduction: Body core temperature is a stable parameter under physiological conditions as well as an important cardinal symptom for clinical monitoring in systemic inflammation. Besides fever further indicators of an inflammatory reaction are changes in white blood cell counts, TNF-α and kynureninetryptophan ratio, but their interrelationship is not yet fully clarified. Thus we investigated these relationships in healthy as well as in pigs exposed to LPS and/or...
