“…Previous reports indicated that beauvericin is primarily a natural contaminant of maize infected by F. subglutinans (Wollenw. et Reinking) Nelson, Toussoun et Marasas (10) and F. proliferatum (Matsushima) Nirenberg (11). Wheat contamination with these toxins is probably underestimated, since F. avenaceum is a widespread wheat head blight agent and can produce high levels of these toxins.…”

We evaluated Fusarium contamination and the levels of hexadepsipeptide mycotoxins in 13 wheat samples affected by head blight in Finland. Fusarium avenaceum was the dominant species (91%) isolated from all samples, but isolates of F. culmorum (4%), F. tricinctum (3%), and F. poae (2%) also were recovered. Beauvericin (0.64 to 3.5 g/g) was detected in all 13 samples. Enniatin B (trace to 4.8 g/g) was detected in 12 samples, enniatin B 1 (trace to 1.9 g/g) was detected in 8 samples, and enniatin A 1 (trace to 6.9 g/g) was detected in 10 samples. Ten of 13 strains of F. avenaceum and 2 strains of F. poae and F. tricinctum produced beauvericin in culture on rice (trace to 70, 9.4, and 33 g/g, respectively). All strains also produced enniatins (trace to 2,700 g/g). This is the first report on the natural cooccurence of beauvericin and enniatins in wheat infected predominantly by F. avenaceum.

“…The significance of this mycotoxin to the poultry industry is difficult to assess at this time due to the lack of data on naturally occurring levels of M. In two reports of naturally occurring levels of moniliformin, one researcher found levels of 16 to 25 mg M/kg , whereas the second reported levels of 17 to 425 mg M/kg (Logrieco et al, 1993). A thin layer chromatography procedure being developed in our laboratory will provide a convenient method to routinely screen feed samples for the presence of moniliformin.…”

Poults fed 100 mg M/kg or greater had lower (P<0.05) feed intakes than controls. Decreased body weight gains were observed in poults fed diets containing 100 mg M/kg or higher. In contrast, feed conversion was only affected (P< 0.05) at dietary levels of 200 mg M/kg feed or higher. Increased heart weights (P< 0.05) were observed in poults fed greater than or equal to 50 mg M/kg. Gross lesions of M toxicity were a generalized cardiomegaly. Histopathology revealed focally extensive to generalized loss of cardiomyocyte cross striations (granular change) and numerous large cardiomyocyte nuclei in poults fed greater than or equal to 50 and 100 mg M/kg, respectively. Results indicated that Fusarium fujikuroi culture material containing moniliformin at greater than or equal to 50 mg M/kg is toxic to turkey poults.

“…The concentrations of FB 1 in Nigerian samples varied from 10 to 760 µg/kg with a mean level of 117 µg/kg in positive samples (Adejumo et al 2007a). F. verticillioides is known worldwide to cause stalk and ear rot of maize (Leslie et al 1990;Logrieco et al 1993;Bottalico 1998;Leslie and Summerell 2006). The contamination of maize with fumonisins is believed to be responsible for a variety of animal diseases, e.g.…”

Eighty maize grain samples collected in Nigeria were investigated for fumonisin B 1 (FB 1 ) content and Fusarium verticillioides colonization. F. verticillioides DNA was quantified by species-specific real-time PCR and living propagules of the fungus were counted by agar-plating method. FB 1 was detected in 55 (68.7%) of the total samples (mean: 98.5 µg/kg, range: 10 to 714 µg/kg) at 10 µg/kg detection limit. The mean amount of F. verticillioides DNA determined by real-time PCR was 49.7 µg/kg (range: 10-126.7 µg/kg), while agar plate method showed the presence of F. verticillioides in 45 samples (mean incidence: 21.0%, range: 6.7-60.0%). There was correlation ties between F. verticillioides DNA by real time PCR and fungal colonization by agar plate method (R = 0.71, p = 00001 at 95% confidence level), and means of FB 1 and F. verticillioides DNA in the yellow and white maize were significantly different. Despite the high consumption of maize in Nigeria, the amount of FB 1 ingested by consumers appears to be low. The estimated daily intake of fumonisins was 0.21 µg/kg body weight per day.
