Vegetative compatibility and phenotypic characterization as a means of determining genetic diversity of Aspergillus flavus isolates.

Fungal biology - 1 Apr 2018

Mitema Alfred, Okoth Sheila, Rafudeen Mohamed S

Abstract excerpt

Toxigenic Aspergillus species produce mycotoxins that are carcinogenic, hepatotoxic and teratogenic immunosuppressing agents in both human and animals. Kenya frequently experiences outbreaks of aflatoxicosis with the worst occurring in 2010, which resulted in 215 deaths. We examined the possible reasons for these frequent aflatoxicosis outbreaks in Kenya by studying Aspergillus flavus diversity, phenotypes and...
