Description
Sayandeep Das, Prithviraj Karak, and Prachi Parvatikar propose watching crop fungi before harvest as an early warning of human exposure to mycotoxins. Climate change is shifting where crop fungi live and when they make their poisons. Control today leans on field management and testing after harvest. Yet shifts in the field's fungal community are rarely used to aim that testing where risk is rising.
The review lines up evidence across the chain: weather and crop stress, fungal community makeup, toxin-making activity, contamination at harvest and storage, human biomarkers, and organ harm. On that base the authors propose a testable One Health model that links crop mycobiome, exposure, and toxic effects. Proof is firmest for aflatoxin modeling and biocontrol with harmless Aspergillus strains. Direct field-to-human data stay scarce. Their verdict is measured: fungal readings may sharpen, but cannot replace, toxin tests.
