Abstract
The general background of the role of mycotoxins in human disease is briefly reviewed. The acute effects of the ingestion of the aflatoxins and the role that long term exposure may play in human disease are examined in detail. The necessity for co-operation between chemists, veterinarians, physicians and mycologists in the elucidation of the role of the mycotoxins in human disease is stressed.
