title: Fumonisin-induced pulmonary edema and hydrothorax in swine.
abstract: Pulmonary edema and hydrothorax were observed in mature swine that died approximately 5 days after consuming corn screenings. These postmortem observations were reproduced in younger pigs that died within 1 week when fed the corn screenings under experimental conditions. Additionally, pulmonary edema and hydrothorax were induced in a pig that died after receiving 4 daily intravenous injections of fumonisin B1, a toxic metabolite produced by Fusarium moniliforme.
