Abstract

The general background of the role of mycotoxins in human disease is briefly reviewed. The clinical assessment of individual cases of mycotoxicosis and of epidemics is considered. The acute effects of the ingestion of the aflatoxins and the part that long term exposure may play in human disease, notably cancer, are examined. The necessity for co-operation between chemists, veterinarians, mycologists and physicians in the elucidation of the role of the mycotoxins in human disease is stressed.
