Maize grains contaminated with fumonisin, a metabolite of Fusarium verticillioides was incorporated into matured male rabbits' diet to evaluate its effects on performance, haematology and serum biochemistry in rabbits. Thirty individually caged crossbred adult rabbit bucks averaging 1.36 ± 0.01 ...
The ability of superabsorbent polymers (SAP) in drying maize and controlling aflatoxin contamination was studied under different temperatures, drying times and SAP-to-maize ratios. Temperature and drying time showed significant influence on the aflatoxin formation. SAP-to-maize ratios between 1:1...
Mycosphaerella species that cause the ‘Sigatoka disease complex’ account for significant yield losses in banana and plantain worldwide. Disease surveys were conducted in the humid forest (HF) and derived savanna (DS) agroecological zones from 2004 to 2006 to determine the distribution of the dise...
Aflatoxins are highly toxic carcinogens that contaminate crops worldwide. Previous studies conducted inNigeria and Ghana found high concentrations of aflatoxins in pre- and post-harvest maize. However,little information is available on the population structure of Aspergillus Sect. Flavi in West A...
Pink ear rot of maize caused by Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium proliferatum and Fusarium graminearum can lead to severe yield losses and contamination of grain with a range of mycotoxins. Maize stalks colonized by Fusarium spp. are the main primary inoculum source for Fusarium incited epidemi...
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 ...
Despite massive expansion of human and livestock populations, fuelled by agricultural innovations, nearly one billion people are hungry and 2 billion are sickened each year from the food they eat. Agricultural and food systems are intimately connected to health outcomes, but health policy and pro...
ompetitive exclusion of aflatoxin producers by endemic atoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus is a proventool for aflatoxin management being adapted for use in Africa. Field efficacy of an experimental formulationconsisting of four native atoxigenic strains (La3303, La3304, La3279 and Ka16127) ...
