Ochratoxin A Toxicosis in Swine

An outbreak of acute swine erysipelase in a herd

Fumonisin toxicosis in swine: an overview of porcine pulmonary edema and current perspectives.

Fumonisin toxicosis in swine was named porcine pulmonary edema (PPE) after outbreaks of a fatal disease in pigs fed Fusarium verticillioides (F. moniliforme)-contaminated corn screenings from the 1989 corn crop in Iowa, Illinois, and Georgia. Pigs that died had severe pulmonary edema, which has not been identified in other species after exposure to fumonisins. The disease has been reproduced ex...

Occurrence of Ochratoxin A in Grape Juice of Iran

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is one of the most important mycotoxins that contaminate a broad range of agricultural and food products. In this study, the occurrence of OTA in available brands of grape juice in Iran purchased from retail outlets or producer were determined for the first time using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with immunoaffinity columns(IAC) as the clean-up step. The aver...

Ochratoxin A in wine.

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for determination of ochratoxin A (OTA) in wine was developed and checked on 14 samples of wine produced in the Republic of Croatia. OTA detection in red and white wine was validated checking the linearity of the method (r2=0.997 and 0.999, respectively), recovery (88 and 95 %, respectively), and precision (RSD=3.1 and 1.4 %, respectively)....
