Susceptibility of Kenyan wheat varieties to head blight, fungal invation and Deoxynivalenol accumulation inoculated with Fusarium graminearum
(2002)
Fifteen wheat varieties commercially grown in Kenya were tested for their susceptibility to head blight and mycotoxin accumulation after inoculation with Fusarium gramineanuu in pot experiments. The strain or the pathogen ...
Occurrence of Fusarium species and associated T2-toxin in Kenyan wheat
(© 2012 SciRes, 2012)
Survey covering 120 wheat fields was conduc- ted in three wheat-growing districts of Kenya during the 2008 cropping season to determine the incidence of Fusarium head blight (FHB) and T2-toxin contamination in grain. FHB ...
The Contamination of Kenyan Lager Beers with Fusarium Mycotoxins
(2004)
Seventy five samples of two popular lager beers, namely Pilsner and Tusker were randomly collected from the city of Nairobi and the surrounding satellite towns in Kenya. The samples were analyzed for the presence of 4 ...
The occurrence of Fusarium species and mycotoxins in Kenyan wheat
(2008)
presence of head blight-causing Fusarium species. Fungal contaminationwas determined by isolation on
agar media, while mycotoxin analysis was by direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
(ELISA). The wheat ...
Mapping aflatoxin risk from milk consumption using biophysical and socio-economic data: a case study of Kenya
(2016)
This research reports a mapping of aflatoxin risk in the milk value chain in Kenya using a geographic information systems (GIS) approach. The objective was to spatially locate regions at risk by taking into account biophysical ...
Major heretofore intractable biotic constraints to African food security that may be amenable to novel biotechnological solutions
(2004-08)
The input costs of pesticides to control biotic constraints are often prohibitive to the subsistence farmers of Africa and seed based solutions to biotic stresses are more appropriate. Plant breeding has been highly ...
Validation of urinary sphingolipid metabolites as biomarker of effect for fumonisins exposure in Kenyan children.
(Francis & Taylor, 2019-06)
Fumonisins (FNs), a group of mycotoxins produced mainly by Fusarium species, are ubiquitous food contaminants, especially for maize. Fumonisin B1 (FB1) caused severe toxicities in farm animals, induced kidney and liver ...
