Aspergillus parasiticus was first discovered in 1912 by pathopathologist, A.T Speare from dead mealy bugs collected on Hawaiian sugarcane plantations. [4] The species epithet, "parasiticus" is derived from the Latin word meaning "parasite" and was selected due to the ability of the fungus to parasitize other organisms. [5]
Aspergillus fumigatus is the most common cause of aspergillosis in individuals with an immunodeficiency. Aspergillus nidulans has seen heavy use as research organism in cell biology. Aspergillus niger is used in the chemical industry for a variety of applications, while also being a known food contaminant and a possible pathogen to humans.
Aflatoxin M 1 is present in the fermentation broth of Aspergillus parasiticus, but it and aflatoxin M 2 are also produced when an infected liver metabolizes aflatoxin B 1 and B 2. Aflatoxin B 1 and B 2 (AFB), produced by A. flavus and A. parasiticus; Aflatoxin G 1 and G 2 (AFG), produced by some Group II A. flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus [19]

Aspergillus novoparasiticus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Flavi section. [1] The species was first described in 2011. [1] It has been reported to produce aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, and aflatoxin G2. [1] A. novoparasiticus has been isolated from hospital patients. [1]
The Aspergillaceae are a family of fungi in the order Eurotiales which are commonly known as the blue and green molds. [4] [5] The family includes the commonly known and observed genera of Aspergillus [6] and Penicillium [7] amongst other lesser known mold genera but also includes larger ascomycete fungi such as Penicilliopsis.
Aflatoxin is produced by two species of Aspergillus, A. flavus and A. parasiticus, which are known to affect plants including cereal grains, figs, nuts, and tobacco. [2] Cereal grains are one of the main ingredient in animal feed. The animals most at risk of having serious problems with aflatoxins are trout, ducklings, and pigs, while cattle ...
