MYCOTOXIN PREVENTION AND CONTROL IN LINSEED

Mycotoxin Toxicity, Treatment and Prevention

Mycotoxins can increase disease incidence and reduce production efficiency in cattle. They exert their effects through three primary mechanisms: (1) alteration in nutrient content, absorption and metabolism, (2) changes in the endocrine and neuroendocrine function, and (3) suppression of the immune system (CAST, 1989). The resulting nonspecific symptoms may therefore be perplexing and make diag...

Fusarium Head Blight Control and Prevention of Mycotoxin Contamination in Wheat with Botanicals and Tannic Acid

Suspensions or solutions with 1% of Chinese galls (Galla chinensis, GC) or 1% of tannic acid (TA), inhibited germination of conidia or mycelium growth of Fusarium graminearum (FG) by 98%-100% or by 75%-80%, respectively, whereas dried bark from buckthorn (Frangula alnus, FA) showed no effect at this concentration. In climate chamber experiments where the wheat variety "Apogee" was artificially ...

Guidelines for prevention and control of mould growth and mycotoxin production in cereals

[Emerging mycotoxin control. Current limits and regulations].

Emerging mycotoxins are of a great importance due to their high occurrence in foods and feeds and their implication in pathologies. There is a need to control them both in pre- and post-harvest. However, the increasing drawbacks of chemical decontamination methods, makes the use of preventive methods more attractive. These are based on avoiding growth of mycotoxigenic fungi and mycotoxin accumu...

Medicinal Plants Effective in the Prevention and Control of Coronaviruses

Background and Aim: Coronaviruses often cause acute complications in the respiratory system with cold-like symptoms. A number of them, such as Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) have killed thousands of people and have caused epidemics and pandemics. This review study aims to investigate the most common medicinal...
