In April 2004, one of the largest aflatoxicosis outbreaks occurred in rural Kenya, resulting in 317 cases and 125 deaths. Aflatoxin-contaminated homegrown maize was the source of the outbreak, but the extent of regional contamination and status of maize in commercial markets (market maize) were unknown. We conducted a cross-sectional survey to assess the extent of market maize contamination and...
At the interface between agriculture and nutrition, the aflatoxin contamination of food and feed touches on agriculture, health, and trade. For more than three decades now, the problem of aflatoxin has been researched in Africa. The interest of development cooperation for aflatoxin and the support to aflatoxin mitigation projects has its ups and downs. The academic world and the development wor...
Inhibitors of aflatoxin production of aflatoxigenic fungi are useful for preventing aflatoxin contamination in crops. As methyl syringate weakly inhibits aflatoxin production, aflatoxin production inhibitory activities of additional alkyl syringates with alkyl chains from ethyl to octyl were examined. Inhibitory activity toward aflatoxin production of Aspergillus flavus became stronger as the l...
We conducted a survey of aflatoxin and fumonisin in maize in western Kenya. In a regional survey of aflatoxin conducted in 2009 across three agroecological zones within three administrative regions, milled maize samples were collected from 985 patrons of 26 hammer mills. Aflatoxin contamination was detected in 49% of samples and was above the regulatory (10 ppb) in 15% of the samples overall; 6...
Aflatoxin B! , a potent hepatocarcinogen, causes rapid but reversible in vivo inhibition of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase in isolated nuclei. This study was designed to determine whether the consequent decrease of RNA formation occurs as a result of direct alteration of RNA polymerase. Aflatoxin B! , l mg/kg body weight, was administered i.p. to male rats; nuclei were isolated from liver homogen...
Aflatoxin belongs to the class of naturally occurring mycotoxins, food contaminants having potent carcinogenicity. We have evaluated the ameliorative role of black tea extract on aflatoxin-induced biochemical changes in the liver of albino male mice. Adult male mice were orally administered with 750 and 1500 pg of aflatoxin in 0.2 mL olive oil/kg b.w./day for 30 days. Oral administration of afl...
The effect of stocking density and dietary aflatoxin B1 along with including rosemary and thyme powders on digestive enzymes activity of rainbow trout was evaluated. 600 fish with an average weight of 90±3 were randomly allotted into six experimental groups consisted of (1) stocking at 15 kg.m-3- feeding diet devoid of aflatoxin, (2) stocking at 45 kg.m-3-feeding diet devoid of aflatoxin, (3) s...
Background and Aims: Microbial detoxification is one of the methods for eliminating of aflatoxins, including aflatoxin M1. Reports indicate that some strains of lactic acid bacteria family through surface adsorption of aflatoxin in their cellwall can be effective in removing them and as a primer culture. In this study, the ability of Bifidobacterium animalis and Lactobacillus delbrueckii in the...
Insect pests in stored wheat cause significant losses and play an important role in the dispersal of viable fungal spores of various species including aflatoxin producing Aspergillus parasiticus. The problem of insecticide resistance in stored insects and environmental hazards associated with fumigants and conventional grain protectants underscore the need to explore reduced risk insecticides t...
A reduction in the survival of Salmonella typhimurium TA 1530 was observed when the bacteria were incubated with aflatoxin B¡,rat liver microsomes, and a reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-generating system. The lethality appeared to depend on the formation of a metabolite of aflatoxin B] by a mixed-function oxygenase system. The killing was very rapid; only 1% of the bacteria...
