Aflatoxin contamination caused by the opportunistic pathogen A. flavus is a major concern in maize production prior to harvest and through storage. Previous studies have highlighted the constitutive production of proteins involved in maize kernel resistance against A. flavus’ infection. However, ...
In the present study, high titred polyclonal antibodies were produced against synthetic AFB1-lys and developed a simple indirect competitive (IC)-ELISA for quantitative estimation of AFB1-lys adducts in human serum albumin. IC-ELISA was validated by testing 250 blood samples that include 85 HBV p...

Aflatoxins are toxins produced by certain strains of fungi belonging to the species Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus during infection in the field, post-harvest, storage and processing. Aflatoxins are found especially in maize and also carry over into milk when contaminated feeds ar...

Attitudes to feed fermentation for aflatoxin management in maize in Kenya: Investigating aflatoxin reduction by yeast-fermentation
Introduction: Milk consumption in Kenya supersedes other countries in East Africa. However, milk contamination with aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is common, but the magnitude of this exposure and the health risks are poorly understood and need to be monitored routinely. This study aimed at assessing the aw...

This report documents the key activities that were carried under the AgResults Aflasafe Pilot Project during the 2018/ 2019 maize-growing season on the verification process to trigger premium payments for successfully harvested and aggregated Aflasafe™-treated maize.
Aflatoxin contamination is widespread instaple crops like peanut, maize, sorghum, pearlmillet, chillies, pistachio, cassava etc., and com-promises the safety of food and feed supplies. It isimportant to be able to detect and quantifyaflatoxins in commodities to p...

Review of immunological methods for the quantification of aflatoxins in peanut and other foods
Globally, crops are being infested with molds. In tropical regions, Aspergillus species
commonly occur, some of which produce aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are hepatotoxic,
nephrotoxic and carcinogenic to different degrees in livestock as well as humans,
causing acute fatal disease as well as chronic il...
