Rubratoxin B mycotoxicosis in the Syrian hamster

Delimitation and characterisation of Talaromyces purpurogenus and related species

“…Because P. rubrum was not accepted by Pitt (1980) and P. purpurogenum has been regarded as a producer of glauconic acid rather than rubratoxins, Frisvad (1989) considered P. crateriforme to be the correct name for the species producing rubratoxins. Rubratoxin B is mutagenic, hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic and splenotoxic to several animals (Burnside et al 1957, Lockard et al 1981, Surjono et al 1985, Engelhardt et al 1987, Kihara et al 2001). The first human rubratoxicosis was reported by Richer et al (1997).…”
