“…However, many other ferns are highly carcinogenic, with species such as the Common Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) having genotoxic, cytotoxic, carcinogenic and immunomodulatory effects on animals and humans (Simán et al 2000, Tourchi-Roudsari 2014 and it has a long history of poisoning grazing livestock (Cao et al 2017).…”

“…Cows that grazed bracken secreted dose‐dependent ptaquiloside in milk (Alonso‐Amelot, Castillo, Smith, & Lauren, 1996), and this compound was also found in the milk of goats and sheep (Virgilio et al., 2015) and in meat (Fletcher et al., 2011a, 2011b). The consumption of these products can lead to indirect human exposure to this substance (Ribeiro, Keller, & Soto‐Blanco, 2020; Shahin, Smith, & Prakash, 1999; Tourchi‐Roudsari, 2014; Virgilio et al., 2015). Bracken extract can cause cancer in mice (Alonso‐Amelot et al., 1996), and in humans, ptaquiloside can cause severe chromosomal abnormalities, and it is also a suspected carcinogen (Gomes et al., 2012; Tourchi‐Roudsari, 2014; Virgilio et al., 2015).…”

Alternatives to the use of conventional veterinary drugs in food‐producing animals have gained attention, such as the use of natural products (NPs), mainly to soften the risks to the animal, the environment, and consumer's health. Although NPs have consistent advantages over conventional drugs, they cannot be considered risk free under food safety matters. In this way, this document presents a comprehensive overview of the importance of considering both the pharmacological and toxicological properties of the constituents of a NP from plants intending the standardization and regulation of its use in food‐producing animals. Terpenes are the most diverse class of natural substances present in NP of vegetal origin with a broad range of biological activities that can be explored in veterinary science; however, certain plants and terpenes also have significant toxic effects, a fact that can harm the health of animals and consequently generate economic losses and risks for humans. In this context, this review gathered scientific data of vegetal species of importance to ethnoveterinary for food‐producing animals, which produce terpenes, its biological effects, and their implications on food safety issues for consumers. For this, more than 300 documents were selected from different online scientific databases. The present data and discussion may contribute to the rational commercial exploration of this class of NPs in veterinary medicine.

“…This problem has been registered in Argentina, mainly in the northwest region (Marin et al 2004, Marín 2011. In humans, carcinogenesis caused by ingestion or continuous contact with the species was also recorded (Simán et al 2000, Recouso et al 2003, Tourchi-Roudsari 2014.…”

Currently, in Argentina 368 species of true ferns (i.e. Polypodiopsida class) are distributed throughout the country, however, only four of them have been mentioned until now as weeds and ruderal species. The goal of this work was to generate an update of weedy ferns from Argentina, including morphology, distribution, and type of weed according to their impact on natural habitats and/or human activities. All Argentinian fern species were analyzed based on references, herbarium specimens, and field trips. As a result of our study 25 species were recorded from Argentina and classified as segetal, ecological, or aquatic weeds, and ruderal and/or toxic species. Current taxonomic identity, diagnostic characters, origins, habitats, geographical distribution, common names, and impact and potential risks were indicated by species. In addition, we provide a dichotomous key to species, presence of these species in southern South American countries, as well as and photographs in natural habitat. This work represents the first review on native and exotic ferns from Argentina that cause an impact on human activities or disturbe native habitats. The results provide information for the development of weed management tools and priority areas to implement them.
