The teratogenic potential of vomitoxin is at present unknown, therefore this study was conducted to assess the embryotoxic effects of vomitoxin in pregnant mice. In this study vomitoxin manifested a specific lethal effect on the mouse embryo associated with or without maternal vaginal bleeding but with no apparent maternal toxicity at the 2.5, 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg doses. Multiple teratogenic effects occurred at the 2.5 and 5 mg/kg doses but no adverse effects were observed at the 0.5 mg/kg dose.
