Impact of mycotoxins on humans and animals
TL;DR: Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of molds that have adverse effects on humans, animals, and crops that result in illnesses and economic losses as discussed by the authors, but mycotoxicoses often remain unrecognized by medical professionals, except when large numbers of people are involved.

Some major mycotoxins and their mycotoxicoses--an overview.
TL;DR: The determination of which of the many known mycotoxins are significant can be based upon their frequency of occurrence and/or the severity of the disease that they produce, especially if they are known to be carcinogenic.

Christopher P. Wild,Yun Yun Gong +1 more
TL;DR: Despite the need for a better evidence-base on mycotoxins and human health, supported by better biomarkers of exposure and effect in epidemiological studies, the existing data are sufficient to prioritize exposure reduction in vulnerable populations.
