Abstract
The possibility of producing toxic effects in day-old chicks with mycotoxins from Phomopsis sp. or Diaporthe phaseolorum var. sojae isolates was studied. Evidence was found that Phomopsis sp., but not Diaporthe, produces hepatic necrosis with high mortality in chicks. Enzymatically, the hepatotoxin produced by Phomopsis sp. caused an increase in the level of liver glucose-6-P [glucose-6-phosphate] dehydrogenase. Mycotoxicosis caused by Phomopsis sp. was compared with lupinosis [a liver disease in sheep caused by mycotoxins from fungi growing on lupine plants].
