By: P. Diedhiou*, R. Bandyopadhyay *, J. Atehnkeng* & P. Ojiambo n 

author keywords: Aspergillus section Flavi; geographical distribution; West Africa
TL;DR: In both agro-ecological zones, and in all storage systems, aflatoxin contamination was lower in sesame than in maize, and only three species of Aspergillus section Flavi were observed, suggesting a low susceptibility to A. flavus. (via Semantic Scholar)
