Morteza Azizollahi Aliabadi, Fatemeh (Elham) Alikhani, Mahya Mohammadi and Reza Kazemi Darsanaki

Mycotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites that if ingested can cause a variety of adverse effects on both humans and animals.Aflatoxins are cancerogenic compounds produced predominantly by certain strains of the Aspergillus genus. They have immunosuppressive, mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic effects, especially on the liver. A variety of physical, chemical and biological methods have been developed for decontamination and control of aflatoxins from contaminated foods and feeds. In this paper, we review recent development in biological control of aflatoxin contamination.
