Mouldy maize samples were collected at three periods of the year (Dry harmattan period, November-February; hot and dry period, March-May; and hot humid and wet period, June-September) from local government areas of Plateau State of Nigeria. They were screened for their mycoflora, aflatoxins, ochratoxin A and zearalenone contents. Fusarium spp were the commonest fungi found in maize during the dry harmattan and hot and dry periods and Neurospora spp were the commonest fungi found during the hot, humid and wet period. The highest level of aflatoxin was found in samples from Langtang (B1 = 960, B2 = 544 micrograms/kg) and the highest level of zearalenone was found in samples from Jos and Langtang areas (17,500 micrograms/kg). The highest level of ochratoxin was found in the field samples from the Jos area (150 micrograms/kg).
在一年中的三个时期（干燥的哈马丹季节，11月至2月；炎热干燥季节，3月至5月；炎热潮湿多雨季节，6月至9月）从尼日利亚高原州的地方政府区域采集发霉玉米样本。对它们进行了霉菌菌群、黄曲霉毒素、赭曲霉毒素A和玉米赤霉烯酮含量的筛查。在干燥的哈马丹季节和炎热干燥季节，镰刀菌属是玉米中最常见的真菌，而在炎热潮湿多雨季节，脉孢菌属是最常见的真菌。在朗唐的样本中发现了最高水平的黄曲霉毒素（B1 = 960，B2 = 544微克/千克），在乔斯和朗唐地区的样本中发现了最高水平的玉米赤霉烯酮（17,500微克/千克）。在乔斯地区的田间样本中发现了最高水平的赭曲霉毒素（150微克/千克）。
