Resistance to Fumonisins and Fusarium Ear Rot of Corn
… disruptions following any future regulation of fumonisins by the FDA.

Fumonisins : chromatographic methodology and their role in human and animal health
The fumonisins consist of a group of 7 structurally related mycotoxins originally isolated from Fusarium moniliforme, a fungal contaminant of maize worldwide. The incidence of F. moniliforme in home-grown maize, has been associated with human oesophageal cancer (OC) risk in the Transkei and China. …

Pathogenesis of Fumonisin Toxicosis in Swine
Fumonisins are a recently identified group of mycotoxins that are worldwide contaminants of corn produced by Fusarium moniliforme. They induce species-specific disease, including leukoencephalomalacia in horses and pulmonary edema in pigs, but little is known about the pathogenesis of disease. …

Development and validation of a dietary assessment tool to determine dietary intake of people living in oesophageal cancer risk areas in the rural Eastern Cape of South Africa
… people, and therefore maize consumption and fumonisins exposure.

Parameters affecting the production of fumonisin B1 by fusarium verticillioides in culture
… produces a group of mycotoxins known as fumonisins under suitable environmental conditions. A series of studies was designed to provide information regarding some of the factors associated with the production offumonisin B1 (FB1) in maize patties and MYRO liquid medium. Our investigation …

Preliminary investigation of the natural contamination of agricultural crops with selected mycotoxins in northern rural South Africa (Limpopo and Mpumalanga Provinces)
… and contamination with mycotoxins, particularly fumonisins and aflatoxins impacts adversely on production, food safety and food security. Mycotoxins are toxic natural food-borne compounds which frequently contaminate agricultural produce worldwide. They are hazardous to humans and animals and …

QTL IDENTIFICATION FOR MARKER ASSISTED SELECTION OF CORN (ZEA MAYS L.) HUSK TRAITS ASSOCIATED WITH FUSARIUM SPP DISEASES RESISTANCE
… contaminate grain with mycotoxins in particular fumonisins, deoxynivalenol and zearalenone. In this PHD thesis role of husk traits like husk number, husk coverage, and husk tightness have been explored to understand their possible effect in providing resistance to these pathogens. Two different …

Cardiovascular Toxicity Induced by Fumonisin in Pigs and Horses
Fumonisins are a group of mycotoxins produced primarily by the fungus Fusarium verticillioides (formerly F. moniliforme), one of the most prevalent fungi associated with corn intended for human and animal consumption. Since their isolation in the 1988, these toxic fungal metabolites have been shown …

Determination of farm animal exposure to multiple mycotoxins and assessment of novel mycotoxin binders
… that deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN), fumonisins (FBs), apicidin, enniatins, emodin, diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS) and beauvericin (BEV), were the most prevalent mycotoxins. Moreover, multiple linear regression analysis also revealed an interaction amongst mixtures of DON, ZEN, FBs, BEV, and …

Inheritance of Resistance to Fusarium Ear Rot and Fumonisin Accumulation in Corn
Fumonisins produced by Fusarium verticillioides ( syn = F. moniliforme) and F. proliferatum have been associated with potentially serious toxicoses of animals and humans. Thus, hybrids with low fumonisin accumulation in grain will be valuable for the production of corn-based human food products. …

Evaluation of southern African maize germplasm for phytoalexin accumulation following inoculation by Fusarium verticillioides
… yields. The pathogen produces mycotoxins called fumonisins, which have been linked to adverse health effects in both humans and animals. Maize produces terpenoid phytoalexins, which are antimicrobial compounds that directly reduce the growth of many fungal pathogens including F. verticillioides. …
