Aflatoxin contamination of crops is frequent in warm regions across the globe, including large areas in sub-Saharan Africa. Crop contamination with these dangerous toxins transcends health, food security, and trade sectors. It cuts across the value chain, affecting farmers, traders, markets, and ...

Management of aflatoxins in maize and groundnuts in Kenya: a farmers' training manual
In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), diverse fungi belonging to Aspergillus section Flavi frequently contaminate staple crops with aflatoxins. Aflatoxins negatively impact health, income, trade, food security, and development sectors. Aspergillus flavus is the most common causal agent of contamination. H...

The aim of the study was to determine the geographical and seasonal variations in aflatoxin dietary exposure levels
in adults from Senegal. A total of 168 adults (50% male) were recruited from three districts: Nioro du Rip (n=90),
located in the Sudan Savannah agro-ecological zone where rainfall ...
