Filamentous fungi occur widely in the environment, contaminating soil, air, food and other substrates. Due to their wide distribution, they have medical and economic implications. Regardless of their use as a source of antibiotics, vitamins and raw materials for various industrially important chemicals, most fungi and filamentous fungi produce metabolites associated with a range of health risks, both in humans and in animals. The association of filamentous fungi and their metabolites to different negative health conditions in humans and animals, has contributed to the importance of investigating different health risks induced by this family of heterotrophs. This review aims to discuss health risks associated with commonly occurring filamentous fungal species which belong to genera , and , as well as evaluating their pathogenicity and mycotoxic properties.
丝状真菌广泛存在于环境中,污染土壤、空气、食物和其他基质。由于它们分布广泛,具有医学和经济意义。尽管它们可作为抗生素、维生素和各种工业重要化学品的原材料来源,但大多数真菌和丝状真菌都会产生与人类和动物一系列健康风险相关的代谢产物。丝状真菌及其代谢产物与人类和动物不同的负面健康状况之间的关联,使得研究这类异养生物引起的不同健康风险变得十分重要。本综述旨在讨论与常见丝状真菌物种相关的健康风险,这些物种属于 属、 属和 属,同时评估它们的致病性和产毒特性。
