Aflatoxins (AFs) represent the most important mycotoxin group, whose presence in food and feed poses significant global health and economic issues. The occurrence of AFs in maize is a burning problem worldwide, mainly attributed to droughts. In recent years, Serbia and Croatia faced climate changes followed by a warming trend. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to estimate the influence of weather on AFs occurrence in maize from Serbia and Croatia in the 2018-2021 period. The results indicate that hot and dry weather witnessed in the year 2021 resulted in the highest prevalence of AFs in maize samples in both Serbia (84%) and Croatia (40%). In maize harvested in 2018-2020, AFs occurred in less than, or around, 10% of Serbian and 20% of Croatian samples. In order to conduct a comprehensive study on the implications of climate change for the occurrence of AFs in maize grown in these two countries, the results of available studies performed in the last thirteen years were searched for and discussed.
黄曲霉毒素（AFs）是最重要的霉菌毒素类别，其在食品和饲料中的存在给全球健康和经济带来了重大问题。玉米中黄曲霉毒素的出现是一个全球性的紧迫问题，主要归因于干旱。近年来，塞尔维亚和克罗地亚面临气候变化及变暖趋势。因此，本研究的主要目的是评估2018 - 2021年期间天气对塞尔维亚和克罗地亚玉米中黄曲霉毒素出现情况的影响。结果表明，2021年出现的炎热干燥天气导致塞尔维亚（84%）和克罗地亚（40%）玉米样本中黄曲霉毒素的发生率最高。在2018 - 2020年收获的玉米中，塞尔维亚样本中黄曲霉毒素出现的比例不到10%或约为10%，克罗地亚样本中这一比例为20%。为了全面研究气候变化对这两个国家种植的玉米中黄曲霉毒素出现情况的影响，我们搜索并讨论了过去十三年中现有研究的结果。
