摘要
In Sub-Saharan Africa, work on mycotoxins covering field cases, acute exposures and chronic effects related to dietary intake is reviewed. Mycotoxins have been implicated in the etiology of diseases like kwashiorkor; marasmic kwashiorkor; hepatocellular carcinoma in humans, and hepatocarcinomas, encephalopathy and other acute diseases in animals. Mycotoxin regulatory programmes using maximum permissible limits of the different mycotoxins are also summarized. Maximum permissible levels of mycotoxins in most countries have been considered for aflatoxins, and progress in mycotoxin research indicates that, soon, more mycotoxins will be included.
