<prompt> BOAA is-Beta-oxalyl aminoalanineBeta-oxalyl amino-arginineBeta-oxalyl amino-arsenicBeta-oxalyl amino transferase  <response>: A Beta - oxalyl - amino-alanine 610 - Park 22ndNEUROLATHYRISM: Cause is toxin - Beta-oxalyl-amino-alanine BOAA found in the seeds of the pulse. L. sativus Khesari dhal. Causes gradual spastic paralysis of lower limbs. Endemic ascitis - Caused by Pyrrolizidine alkaloidQ found in seed of Crotolaria Jhunjhunia. Aflatoxicosis - Caused by aflatoxin produced by fungi Aspergillus flavus A. Parasiticus. Epidemic dropsy - Contamination of mustard oil with argemone oil Toxic alkaloid, sanguinarine Ergotism - Consumption of ergot field fungus - Claviceps fusiformis alkaloid infested food grain.Interventions for prevention andor control of Lathyrism: Vitamin C prophylaxis: 500 - 1000 mg daily for a week or so repairs the damage. Damage can also be prevented by generous provision of ascorbic acid in lathyrogenic diet. Banning the crop: PFA Act in India has banned Lathyrus in all forms whole, split or flour. Removal of toxin Steeping Method: Removal of toxins by soaking pulse in hot water. Drawback-loss of vitamin and minerals. Suitable in domestic setting. Parboiling: suitable for large scale operation. Soaking pulse in lime water over-night follower by boiling destroys toxin and also trypsin inhibitors. Education: On dangers of consuming this pulse and need for removing its toxin before consumption. Genetic approach: Selective propagation cultivation of strains of Lathyrus containing very low level of toxin 0.1. Socio-economic changes or overall development.
