• Post-harvest management of aflatoxin contamination in groundnut (2015, background): “Polypropylene bags are now being used, but because these are not airtight, groundnut pods are still susceptible to fungal and aflatoxin contamination (Hell et al., 2000; Udoh et al., 2000).”
• Aflatoxin control and prevention strategies in key crops of Sub-Saharan Africa (2011, background): “About 4 to 12% of farmers in the various ecological zones in Nigeria used smoke to preserve their grains, and this practice was found to be correlated with lower aflatoxin levels in farmers’ stores (Udoh et al., 2000).”
• Pre- and postharvest management of aflatoxin in maize: an African perspective. (2008, background): “Farmers in Africa increasingly store grains in polypropylene bags, but the poor aeration in these bags may encourage fungal growth and aflatoxin production, in grains not dried to a safe level (Udoh et aI., 2000; Hell et aI., 2000b).”
• Mycotoxin problem in Africa: current status, implications to food safety and health and possible management strategies. (2008, background): “Udoh et al. (2000) reported that 33% of maize samples from different agro-ecological zones of Nigeria were contaminated with aflatoxins.”
• Mycotoxins in food in West Africa: current situation and possibilities of controlling it (2003, background): “Udoh et al. (2000) reported that 33% of maize samples from different ecological zones of Nigeria were contaminated with aflatoxins.”
• Distribution of Aspergillus section Flavi in soils of maize fields in three agroecological zones of Nigeria (2009, background): “In Nigeria official monitoring of the mycotoxins is sparse to non-existent, nevertheless, high concentrations of aflatoxin have been found in pre- and postharvest maize (Bankole and Mabekoje, 2003; Kpodo and Bankole, 2008; Udoh et al., 2000).”
• Incidence of aflatoxin in peanuts (Arachis hypogaea Linnaeus) from markets in Western, Nyanza and Nairobi Provinces of Kenya and related market traits (2013, background): “There is evidence that storage methods can facilitate fungal proliferation and aflatoxin contamination in maize (Hell et al., 2000; Udoh et al., 2000).”
