TL;DR: Maize samples were collected during a survey in three agro-ecological zones in Nigeria to determine the distribution and aflatoxin-producing potential of members of Aspergillus section Flavi to find the most predominant fungal genera identified.

TL;DR: Biological control has been developed as the most innovative potential technology of controlling aflatoxin contamination in crops, which uses competitive exclusion of toxigenic strains by non-toxigenic ones and is commercially applied in groundnuts maize, cottonseed, and pistachios during pre-harvest stages.

TL;DR: In this study an LC-MS/MS multitoxin method covering a total of 247 fungal and bacterial metabolites was applied to the analysis of different foods and feedstuffs from Burkina Faso and Mozambique, emphasizing the great variety of mycotoxin coexposure.
