Two new qPCR assays for detecting and quantifying the <i>Aspergillus flavus</i> and <i>Aspergillus parasiticus</i> clades in maize kernels
2024-03-11
Abstract excerpt
The fungi of Aspergillus section Flavi mostly produce carcinogenic mycotoxins — aflatoxins (AFs) — of two types: types B and G (AFBs and AFGs). AF are highly hazardous for human and animal health. Their levels in food and feed are therefore highly regulated, with a low acceptable limit for AF content. In France, global warming has led to the detection of AFs in maize harvests since 2015. Mycoflora analyses have...
