The Nordic Baltic Fusarium Seminar (NBFS 2019)
2019-04-03 - 2019-04-04 | Musikhuset, Havnegade 18, Esbjerg, 6700, Denmark
This seminar will cover a wide range of scientific areas including:

Strategies for mycotoxin reduction in the food and feed chains.
Fusarium mycotoxins, including toxicology and masked mycotoxins.
Resistance breeding and control against Fusarium
Occurrence of Fusarium and mycotoxins

The objective of this seminar is to strengthen the contact between scientists from Nordic and Baltic countries and to facilitate the exchange of information gathered within different research-projects related to Fusarium and mycotoxins. Franz Berthiller (BOKU, Austria) and Theo van der Lee (Wageningen University and Research, Netherlands) are invited speakers.

FUNtox-seminar
2019-01-11 | Norwegian Veterinary Institute, Elizabeth Stephansen vei 1, Ås, Ås, 1433, Norway
End seminar of the strategic institute program “FUNtox – fungi and mycotoxins in a One health perspective” (in Norwegian).
FUNtox at the Norwegian Veterinary Institute was established to provide a centre of excellence for research on fungi (FUN) and toxinology (tox). The group has a multidisciplinary profile encompassing expertise within mycology, chemistry, toxicology, pharmacology, pathology and immunology.

Fungi grow in a wide range of habitats and are beneficial as decomposers of dead material throughout the world. Some fungi, however, are parasitic, causing infections in plants, animals and humans. Many produce toxic metabolites, mycotoxins, which are detrimental to the health of consumers of contaminated food. Documented risk analyses indicate that animals and humans are chronically exposed to mycotoxins. Yet, the full metabolic potential of fungi is largely un-explored, and we need a better understanding of the toxic effects of such compounds to ensure the health of humans and livestock, develop counter-acting strategies, and maintain productivity in a “one health” perspective.
