Mycotoxins in Food, Feed, and Bioweapons, edited by Mahendra Raj and Ajit Varma (Springer Verlag © 2009) offers readers a comprehensive sum- mary of new developments in mycotoxin detection and control strategies along with the latest research findings on a variety of emerging mycotoxin issues. In addition to updates on mycotoxin management in Ireland, Lithuania, and Latin America, the book discusses aflatoxin-like gene clusters and the development of sclerotial tissues in aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus fungi. The chapters on the weaponization of mycotoxins are especially timely and thought-provoking.
