Leslie, J.Bandyopadhyay, RanajitVisconti, A.[Mycotoxins: detection methods, management, public health and agricultural trade]Mycotoxins: detection methods, management, public health and agricultural trade

Aspergillus section Flavi have been implicated as causal agents of aflatoxin contamination in Africa. However, Aspergillus populations associated with aflatoxin contamination in Zambia have not been adequately detailed. Most of Zambia's arable land is non-cultivated and Aspergillus communities in...


Kachapulula, P.W.Akello, J.Bandyopadhyay, RanajitCotty, P.J.[Aspergillus section Flavi community structure in Zambia influences aflatoxin contamination of maize and groundnut]Aspergillus section Flavi community structure in Zambia influences aflatoxin contamination of maize and groundnut

Aflatoxin exposure is frequent and widespread in most African countries where the key staples, maize and groundnut, are particularly vulnerable to aflatoxin contamination. Aflatoxin-producing fungi are ubiquitous in Africa where they occupy soil and colonize diverse organic matter while producing...


Bandyopadhyay, RanajitCotty, P.J.[Biological controls for aflatoxin reduction]Biological controls for aflatoxin reduction

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 ...

In Nigeria, Aflasafe is a registered biological product for reducing aflatoxin infestation of crops from the field to storage, making the crops safer for consumption. The important questions are whether farmers will purchase and apply this product to reduce aflatoxin contamination of crops, and i...


Ayedun, B.Okpachu, G.Manyong, Victor M.Atehnkeng, J.Akinola, Adebayo A.Abu, G.A.Bandyopadhyay, RanajitAbdoulaye, Tahirou[An assessment of willingness to pay by maize and groundnut farmers for aflatoxin biocontrol product in northern Nigeria]An assessment of willingness to pay by maize and groundnut farmers for aflatoxin biocontrol product in northern Nigeria
Mahalakshmi, V.Reddy, B.V.S.Bandyopadhyay, RanajitSharma, H.C.Rao, N.K.Ortiz, R.[Sorghum on line crop information]Sorghum on line crop information

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 ...

Quantify aflatoxins, the potent carcinogens associated with stunting and immune suppression, in maize and groundnut across Zambia's three agroecologies and determine vulnerability to aflatoxin increases after purchase.

Aflatoxins, produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus, are a major health concern because of their acute and chronic health effects on humans and domesticated animals. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that more than 4.5 billion people in the developing world are chronically exposed...

The major mycotoxins studied at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Re-search (CGIAR) institutes are aflatoxins in maize, groundnut, sorghum and cassava, Fusa-rium toxins in maize, wheat and sorghum, and ochratoxin in cocoa and cashew. Genetic en-hancement (both through plant bre...
