dc.descriptionThis document provides an examination of mycotoxicoses in humans and animals, focusing on the epidemiology, etiology, and pathogenesis of diseases caused by toxic microfungi. It distinguishes between infectious mycoses and non-infectious mycotoxicoses, emphasizing that the latter result from ingesting toxic fungal metabolites in contaminated food or feed. The text details the environmental conditions that promote fungal growth, the seasonal and geographical patterns of toxin outbreaks, and the persistence of mycotoxins in agricultural products. It highlights diagnostic challenges, including variability in toxin distribution and limitations in detection methods, while recommending a comprehensive approach combining clinical, pathological, and mycological analyses. The document outlines significant economic losses due to decreased animal productivity, high mortality, and food rejection.en
