T-2 Toxin (C0039185)

Definition (CSP) potent mycotoxin produced in feedstuffs by some Fusarium species.
Definition (MSH) A potent mycotoxin produced in feedstuffs by several species of the genus FUSARIUM. It elicits a severe inflammatory reaction in animals and has teratogenic effects.

Trichothecenes (C0040952)

Definition (MSH) Usually 12,13-epoxytrichothecenes, produced by Fusaria, Stachybotrys, Trichoderma and other fungi, and some higher plants. They may contaminate food or feed grains, induce emesis and hemorrhage in lungs and brain, and damage bone marrow due to protein and DNA synthesis inhibition.
