Mycoflora of staples and mycotoxin production of fusarium isolates from the high-risk area for human esophageal cancer in china

摘要

Contamination of staples (corn and wheat) with Fusarium species has been suspected to be associated with the risk of human esophageal cancer (HEC) in Linxian, Henan Province in China. In relation to the comparative chemical study on the natural occurrence of mycotoxins in the HEC area, mycoflora of the staples and mycotoxin production of Fusarium isolates were studied.
