Epidemiology of Mycotoxin Producing Fungi : Under the Aegis of COST Action 835 ‘Agriculturally Important Toxigenic Fungi 1998–2003’, EU Project (QLK 1-CT-1998–01380)

This volume has gathered together specialist reports complied through EU-Cost Action 835: Agriculturally Important Toxigenic Fungi. The contents should be of particular interest to scientists concerned with the occurrence of mycotoxins and the environmental factors that lead to their accumulation in crops. It will also be of value to all those interested in epidemiological aspects of plant disease. The information will also be invaluable to those aiming to minimise the levels of mycotoxins in human and animal food products.
