3rd Joint African Society of Mycotoxicology & Mytox South Conference

Mycotoxigenic fungi significantly affect the production, safety and trade of agricultural crops in Africa. Despite local and international efforts, the continent is plagued by mycotoxigenic fungi that contaminate crops and cause acute and chronic diseases in humans and animals. The African Society of Mycotoxicology holds a symposium every three years aimed at bringing together all stakeholders to share ideas and expertise in control and management of these toxins.
