Human foods and animal feeds, and ingredients used for their preparation or formulation in Nigeria, were surveyed between 1988 and 1991 for the presence of the fungal metabolite and animal carcinogen aflatoxin. Groundnut and groundnut-containing materials were the most heavily contaminated, the highest value (1862 ppb) being found in a groundnut cake sample. This mycotoxin was also detected occasionally, but to a lesser extent, in some grains and cereals that are of nutritional importance in human foods and the livestock industry in Nigeria. The toxicological implications of this finding are discussed in relation to human health and animal production.
1988年至1991年期间，对尼日利亚用于制备或配制人类食品和动物饲料的原料及成品进行了调查，以检测其中是否存在真菌代谢产物及动物致癌物黄曲霉毒素。花生及含花生的材料受污染最为严重，在一份花生饼样本中发现了最高值（1862 ppb）。在尼日利亚人类食品和畜牧业中具有营养重要性的一些谷物中，也偶尔检测到这种霉菌毒素，但含量较低。本文结合人类健康和动物生产对这一发现的毒理学意义进行了讨论。
