Survey of Climate-structured Mycobiomes in Staple Maize: Implications for Endemic Keshan and Kashin–Beck Diseases
2026-04-04
Abstract excerpt
Keshan disease (KD) and Kashin–Beck disease (KBD) are geographically restricted disorders in rural China with overlapping environmental and dietary risk factors. Selenium deficiency alone cannot explain their regional heterogeneity. Maize, a dietary staple in endemic areas, represents a key exposure pathway for climate-sensitive foodborne fungi and their metabolites. We profiled maize-associated fungal communities...
