Five Aspergillus sections have members that are established agricultural pests and
producers of different metabolites, threatening global food safety. Most of these pathogenic …

Species of the highly diverse fungal genus Aspergillus are well-known agricultural pests,
and, most importantly, producers of various mycotoxins threatening food safety worldwide …

Aflatoxin is considered a “hidden poison” due to its slow and adverse effect on various
biological pathways in humans, particularly among children, in whom it leads to delayed …

The purpose of this review is to present information about raw materials that can be used in
