Aflatoxin B1 and viruses' combined pathogenesis: A mini systematics review of invitro and invivo studies

CONCLUSION: The limited collected evidence suggests that AFB1 enhanced EBV and influenza virus pathogenesis. AFB1 also operated as a cofactor for HBV and EBV-mediated carcinogenesis. On the other hand HBV and HCV also induced AFB-1 carcinogenesis. Due to the limited amount of included studies and the inconsistency of their results further studies especially on HBV and SIV are essential for better understanding of their combined mechanisms.PMID:38101290 | DOI:10.1016/j.acthis.2023.152116
