Research group funded by the Ministry of Agriculture
Mycotoxicology
Presentation
The mycotoxicology group was created in 1999 in order to respond to
scientific, political and field preoccupations concerning the effects of
mycotoxins on animal health and on the quality of products.
Appraising consumption-related risks is difficult due to the complexity of
the mechanisms involved in the growth of fungic toxinogenesis and to the
large number of synthesised compounds, many of which are toxic to
humans and animals.
The research group proposes an original approach linking two areas in the
management of risks:
- Accident surveillance on farms (see the "service" rubric of the website - Mycotoxicology Services).
- Investigation on the noxious effects of mycotoxins.
