Aspergillus parasiticus is a type of aspergillus mold usually found in cultivated soils and is considered as allergenic. It is difficult to differentiate this kind of mold from aspergillus flavus, which is why there is a lack of reported isolations associated with this mold, although it is frequently isolated from seeds, insects, insects and some plants.

Studies have shown that some strains of Aspergillus parasiticus can produce a group of mycotoxins, usually in the aflatoxin group. It should be understood that Aflatoxins are animal carcinogen, but there are limited evidence suggesting that this type of toxin is human carcinogen. However, this same toxin is found to be poisonous to humans, especially when ingested and can be toxic to the liver.
