“…Using this analytical method, Sydenham et al (28) showed that home-grown corn from areas in Transkei with a high incidence of EC contained significantly higher levels of both FB 1 and FB 2 than corresponding samples from low-incidence areas. In 1981 a correlation was shown between the incidence of the fungus F. verticillioides in home-grown corn and the incidence of EC in Transkei (10), whereas in 1990 a correlation was shown between the levels of FB 1 and FB 2 in home-grown corn and the incidence of EC in Transkei (28).…”

“…& Smuts, 2001). In addition to the diseases in livestock, consumption of corn-based food contaminated with fumonisins is known to epidemiologically relate to human esophageal cancer (HEC) in people from the Transkei region of South Africa and the Linxian region of China ( [Chu and Li, 1994], [Rheeder et al, 1992] and [Sydenham et al, 1990]). It was also reported that gestational exposure to fumonisins may result in birth defects, such as neural tube defects (Hendricks, 1999).…”

“…Em seres humanos, estudos epidemiológicos indicam a associação das fumonisinas com o câncer esofágico e hepático primário (RHEEDER et al, 1992;SYDENHAM et al, 1990;UENO et al, 1997) sendo classificadas pela International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) como carcinógenos do grupo 2B, i.e., provavelmente carcinogênicos para seres humanos (IARC, 2002).…”

Brazil is the third largest producer of poultry in the world and the leading exporter. However, mycotoxin contamination in corn and feed can cause serious economic losses to the poultry industry. Mycotoxins have been linked to several poultry diseases and, when metabolized may occur in meat and eggs and are an additional source for human contamination. Therefore, continuous monitoring of mycotoxin levels in the feed producing chain is essential to increase productivity, ensure poultry product quality and minimize human health hazards. The aim of this study was to revise the main aspects of mycotoxins (fumonisin, aflatoxins and ochratoxin A), including the producing fungi, the biosynthesis pathway, the toxicological effects in poultry and occurrence in corn and poultry feed Keywords: fumonisins, aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, chicken, corn RESUMOO Brasil é o terceiro produtor mundial de aves e o líder em exportações. No entanto, a contaminação de milho e rações por micotoxinas pode acarretar grandes perdas econômicas à avicultura. As micotoxinas estão associadas a diversos efeitos tóxicos em aves e, ao serem metabolizadas, podem ocorrer em carne e ovos, constituindo um risco para a saúde humana. Portanto, o monitoramento contínuo de micotoxinas na cadeia produtiva de rações é essencial para aumentar a produtividade, assegurar a qualidade do produto e minimizar os riscos à saúde humana. Este estudo teve como objetivo revisar os principais aspectos das micotoxinas (fumonisinas, aflatoxinas e ocratoxina A), incluindo os fungos produtores, via de biossíntese, efeitos toxicológicos em aves e a ocorrência em milho e rações de aves.Palavras-chave: fumonisinas, aflatoxinas, ocratoxina A, aves, rações BBR -Biochemistry and Biotechnology Reports
