Aflatoxins in maize : can their occurrence be effectively managed in Africa in the face of climate change and food insecurity?
(MDPI AG, 2022)The dangers of population-level mycotoxin exposure have been well documented. Climate-sensitive aflatoxins (AFs) are important food hazards. The continual effects of climate change are projected to impact primary agricultural ... -
Aflatoxins in the soil ecosystem: an overview of its occurrence, fate, effects and future perspectives
(Springer, 2020)Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites produced by specific strains of fungi, especially Aspergillus spp. These natural toxins are mainly found in soil, decaying vegetation and food storage systems and are particularly ... -
Ecotoxicological assessment of aflatoxin in soil under different temperature and moisture conditions utilising earthworms
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites produced by specific strains of fungi. These natural toxins are mainly found in soil, decaying vegetation, and food storage systems and are particularly abundant during drought stress. ... -
Ecotoxicological effects of aflatoxins on earthworms under different temperature and moisture conditions
(MDPI AG, 2022)Aflatoxin contamination remains one of the most important threats to food safety and human health. Aflatoxins are mainly found in soil, decaying plant material and food storage systems and are particularly abundant during ... -
