Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1331-1342, July 2021., 2021 Distributions of the active ingredients of the aflatoxin biocontrol product Aflasafe KE01 across the most vulnerable portions of Kenya were determined with 17 SSR loci. The four active ingredient haplotypes were all among the top 10 most frequent and each belonged to both a distinct vegetative compatibility group and a distinct clonal lineage ...

The Scourge of Aflatoxins in Kenya: A 60‐Year Review (1960 to 2020)
Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Aflatoxins are endemic in Kenya. The 2004 outbreak of acute aflatoxicosis in the country was one of the unprecedented epidemics of human aflatoxin poisoning recorded in mycotoxin history. In this study, an elaborate review was performed to synthesize Kenya’s major findings in relation to aflatoxins, their prevalence, detection, quantification, exposure

Copper (I)-Nicotinate Promotes Gene Expression of CYPs that Produce M1 and Q1 in Aflatoxicosed Rats [PDF]
American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2020 Aflatoxin-contaminated food poses a serious risk to both human and animal health. Copper (1)-nicotinate (Cu+-nicotinate) complex potentiated the prophylactic effect against chronic aflatoxicosis in the experimental animals through the synthesis of less toxic metabolites M1 and Q1 which are easily excreted in urine.

Cellular Microbiology, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2020., 2020 Abstract For eukaryotes like fungi to regulate biological responses to environmental stimuli, various signalling cascades are utilized, like the highly conserved mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. In the model fungus Aspergillus nidulans, a MAPK pathway known as the pheromone module regulates development and the production of secondary ...

Outbreaks of Aflatoxicoses in India
African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development, 2007 Mycotoxins particularly aflatoxins are gaining increasing importance due to their deleterious effects on human and animal health and also due to ubiquitous presence of aflatoxigenic fungi in all the agricultural commodities under field and storage conditions. In general, aflatoxins occur more frequently in tropical countries because of high temperature,

Comparative ameliorative actions of extracted bradykinin potentiating fraction from cobra snake venom and synthetic antioxidants on hepatic tissue of aflatoxicosed rats [PDF]
Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2020 Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus, Penicillium and other genera which contaminate food and exhibit hazardous effects on humans and animals. Aflatoxins (AFs) caused liver necrosis, fibrosis. In the present study, we planned to evaluate the action of bradykinin potentiating factor (BPF) extracted from Egyptian cobra snake venom
