Paul W. Kachapulula,Paul W. Kachapulula,Juliet Akello,Ranajit Bandyopadhyay,Peter J. Cotty,Peter J. Cotty +5 more
TL;DR: The aims of the study were to quantify aflatoxins, the potent carcinogens associated with stunting and immune suppression, in maize and groundnut across Zambia's three agroecologies and to determine the vulnerability to aflatoxin increases after purchase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aflatoxin Contamination of Dried Insects and Fish in Zambia.
Paul W. Kachapulula,Paul W. Kachapulula,Juliet Akello,Ranajit Bandyopadhyay,Peter J. Cotty,Peter J. Cotty +5 more
TL;DR: The current study shows the need for proper storage and testing of dried insects and fish before consumption as measures to mitigate human exposure to aflatoxins through consumption in Zambia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aspergillus section Flavi community structure in Zambia influences aflatoxin contamination of maize and groundnut
TL;DR: Characterization of the causal agents of aflatoxins contamination in agroecologies across Zambia gives support for modifying fungal community structure to reduce the aflatoxin-producing potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aflatoxin Contamination of Non-cultivated Fruits in Zambia.
TL;DR: Concentrations of aflatoxins in commonly consumed wild fruits from markets and characteristics of associated aflatoxin-producers need to be determined to assess the a flatoxin risk posed by handling, processing, storage, and consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Cashew Powdery Mildew Disease in Western Province of Zambia
TL;DR: In this article , a two-way ANOVA was used to compare disease severity by month and district, with significant differences (P < 0.001) in both PMD incidence and severity among different districts, with the highest incidence in Limulunga (55.88 %) and the least in Sikongo District (36.49 %).
