Carcinogenic myco-toxins and Epidemiology

Mycotoxins are not only hard to define, they are also challenging to classify. Due to their diverse chemical structures and biosynthetic origins, their myriad biological effects, and their production by a wide number of different fungal species, classification schemes tend to reflect the training of the person doing the categorizing. Clinicians often arrange them by the organ they affect. Thus, mycotoxins can be classified as hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins, immunotoxins, and so forth. Cell biologists put them into generic groups such as teratogens, mutagens, carcinogens, and allergens.

  • Management of diseases caused
  • Pathogenicity of mold producing mycotoxins
  • Mutagenesis.
  • Dietary Carcinogens and Anticarcinogens.
