“…OTA can be found in a variety of agricultural products, especially in cereals, grapes, and related products (Streit et al, 2012;Tsitsigiannis et al, 2012). This mycotoxin occurs naturally and is widespread around the world, but mainly in the Mediterranean Basin, including Italy, Spain, and Greece (Covarelli et al, 2012;Somma et al, 2012;Perrone et al, 2013;Arroyo-Manzanares et al, 2019), and furthermore, in several African countries like Cameroon, Senegal, Benin, and Nigeria (Rodrigues et al, 2011;Tang et al, 2019). OTA can also be considered as a potentially emerging mycotoxin in Central Europe due to the climate change (Tóth et al, 2013;Pleadin et al, 2017;Udovicki et al, 2018).…”
