Massoia Lactone Displays Strong Antifungal Property Against Many Crop Pathogens and Its Potential Application

Mei Zhang et al.

Summary: Massoia lactone, released from liamocins produced by Aureobasidium melanogenum M39, is stable and highly active against fungal crop pathogens. It inhibits hyphal growth and spore germination, causes cell membrane pore formation, reduces ergosterol content, increases intracellular ROS levels, and leads to cellular necrosis and death. Massoia lactone shows promise as a bio-fungicide due to its effectiveness and multiple modes of action.

Invited review: Remediation strategies for mycotoxin control in feed

Meng Liu et al.

Summary: Mycotoxins, secondary metabolites of fungi, are a major concern in animal feed with adverse effects on animal health. Various strategies including physical, chemical, biological, and nutritional approaches have been developed for the decontamination and detoxification of mycotoxins. However, each strategy has its limitations. This review provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of different remediation strategies and updates on the research progress in controlling mycotoxins in the feed industry.

Validation of a HACCP community-based infants' complementary food safety assurance method in cash crop producing communities in Gedeo zone, Southern Ethiopia

Abebe Ayelign et al.

Summary: A method based on HACCP-based SOP has been validated in cash crop-producing communities in Southern Ethiopia. The majority of mothers understand the importance of complementary feeding and are motivated to implement the method. However, some mothers lack awareness of the health risks of aflatoxins. The study found contamination of CFs with aflatoxins.

Screening Fungicides for Controlling Wheat Crown Rot Caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum across Hebei Province in China

Na Zhang et al.

Summary: This research evaluates the efficacy of several fungicides against Fusarium pseudograminearum in in vitro assays. The results show that fludioxonil is the most effective fungicide. Commercially available fungicides containing fludioxonil, difenoconazole, and tebuconazole also exhibit good control efficacy in pot and field assays. Additionally, seed dressing combined with spraying shows better control and higher grain yield for FCR.

Fungicide effects on human fungal pathogens: Cross-resistance to medical drugs and beyond

Rafael W. Bastos et al.

Summary: Fungal infections are underestimated threats affecting over 1 billion people, with Candida spp., Cryptococcus spp., and Aspergillus spp. being the most fatal fungi. Antifungal drug use can lead to resistance, and resistant strains are not only found in patients undergoing long-term azole therapy but also in the environment. Environmental exposure to fungicides can have significant effects on the morphophysiology and virulence of fungal pathogens beyond just cross-resistance, impacting Candida and Cryptococcus as well.

Physical and Chemical Methods for Reduction in Aflatoxin Content of Feed and Food

Peter Sipos et al.

Summary: Aflatoxins pose serious health risks to both household animals and humans, with prevention methods focused on pre-harvest control of Aspergillus infestations and post-harvest reduction of these hazardous secondary metabolites. Physical and chemical methods have been shown to effectively reduce mycotoxins in feed and food, with further research needed to ensure their efficacy. The rapid spread of these cost-effective and safe post-harvest tools during storage and food processing is expected.
