, Mycotoxins: Historical Information and Occurrence
▪ During the 1950s, a disease in dogs called hepatitis X
occurred in the southeastern United States and was tied to
the consumption of moldy dog food.
▪ It was later reasoned to have been caused by the same
mycotoxin responsible for high mortality in turkeys due to
hepatic toxicity (turkey X disease) in England in 1960.
▪ Peanut meal imported to England from Brazil was highly
contaminated with fungi of the Aspergillus flavus-
Aspergillus parasiticus group, which produced aflatoxins.
▪ The aflatoxin story was historically important because
aflatoxicosis attracted global attention concerning the
potential problems of mycotoxins in the food chain
