Abstract
The role of climate change on mycotoxin profile and activity was reviewed.
The unprecedented spread and relocation experienced by some regulated
mycotoxins on food and feed items were investigated. Aspergillus species and
aflatoxin, originally associated with tropical and subtropical climate
characteristics of Sub-Saharan Africa are now comfortable guests in temperate
zones. The same applies to Fusarium and Penicilium species, earlier thought
to be strictly specific to temperate regions of Europe, now encountered in
tropical Africa, with their toxins like zearalenone and trichothecenes,
particularly in recent surveillance studies. This review is an update on the
unstable trend on a global mycotoxin map with reference to the obvious
climatic dynamics, having Africa in view
