This research reports a mapping of aflatoxin risk in the milk value chain in Kenya using
a geographic information systems (GIS) approach. The objective was to spatially locate
regions at risk by taking into account biophysical and socio-economic factors such as
humidity and rainfall, dairy cattle...

Mapping aflatoxin risk from milk consumption using biophysical and socio-economic data: A case study of Kenya
Milk is an important commodity in Kenya; the country has the largest dairy herd and highest per capita milk consumption in East Africa. As such, hazards in milk are of concern. Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a toxic metabolite of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) excreted in milk by lactating animals after ingesting A...

Aflatoxin exposure from milk in rural Kenya and the contribution to the risk of liver cancer
The aflatoxin (AF) albumin adduct is often used as a biomarker for aflatoxin exposure in humans. An ELISA method previously used for aflatoxin serum albumin in human blood was used to analyse bovine serum samples (n = 22) collected from dairy cattle during an aflatoxin mitigation study in Kenya. ...

Preliminary study on the relationship between aflatoxin-bovine serum albumin adducts in blood and aflatoxin M1 levels in milk of dairy cows
Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), a human carcinogen, is found in milk products and may have potentially severe health impacts on milk consumers. We assessed the risk of cancer and stunting as a result of AFM1 consumption in Nairobi, Kenya, using worst case assumptions of toxicity and data from previous studi...

Surveillance and early warning systems for climate-sensitive diseases in Vietnam: Key findings from the Pestforecast project
Background
Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a hydroxylated metabolite formed after aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is consumed by humans and animals; it can be detected in urine, milk and blood. It is well recognized that AFB1 is toxic to humans and other animals. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC...
