Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: This comprehensive book examines the chemistry, genetics and biology of Fusarium mycotoxins. Five chapters review the toxicity, natural occurrence, and genetics of agriculturally significant mycotoxins. Forty-two reports update the taxonomy, occurrence, and mycotoxicology of Fusarium species. This volume will provide information to mycologists, toxicologists, plant pathologists, and others who are interested in assessing and managing risks associated with Fusarium mycotoxins in foods and feeds.
