Fungal Growth and Mycotoxins: Challenges for developing countries

Dear Colleagues,

Professors Sarah De Saeger and J. David Miller are planning a Special Issue of Toxins for publication in April 2019 on the theme of mycotoxins, public health, and trade in developing regions. There has been recent attention to mycotoxin issues in the most challenged regions, that is, much of Africa and parts of East Asia and Latin America. Over the past four decades, there have also been success stories where mycotoxin contaminations have been reduced, even in risk areas such as in China, some ASEAN and Latin American countries. The hope is to illuminate situations all over the world reflecting both challenges and opportunities.
