They are mainly produced by fungi of genera <em>Fusarium, Aspergillus, Penicillium and Alternaria</em>. Inhalation or ingestion of mycotoxins can be poisonous and hazardous to humans and animals and the toxicological syndromes can range from acute mortality to slow growth, reduced reproductive efficiency and also impaired immunity, so decreased resistance to infectious diseases.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-align: center;">	<drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="44995722-a43d-4194-8252-3830fe80e003" alt="mycotoxin"></drupal-media></p><p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-align:justify">	<span><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="sans-serif"><span style="caret-color:#000000"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="font-variant-caps:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:normal"><span style="orphans:auto"><span style="text-transform:none"><span style="white-space:normal"><span style="widows:auto"><span style="word-spacing:0px"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto"><span style="text-decoration:none"><span><span style='NewRoman",serif'><span style="color:black">Mycotoxins released into their living environment affect either foods or agricultural crops, particularly cereals and oilseeds, which are consumed by animals and humans.
