Occurrence of toxigenic Aspergillus and Fusarium species and associated mycotoxins in at-harvest and post-harvest maize (Zea mays L.) from selected districts of Ethiopia

Maize ( Zea mays L.) contamination by mycotoxins represents a major threat to food safety and economic stability in Ethiopia. This study investigated the occurrence of toxigenic fungi and multi-mycotoxin contamination in 180 maize samples collected across three critical value chain stages (at-harvest, three-month...
