Twelve random samples of mouldy maize collected during the 1991 harvest season from farms at different locations in Jos district, Nigeria, were screened primarily for contamination by the Fusarium mycotoxins nivalenol, fusarenon-X and HT-2 toxin. All the three mycotoxins were detected: nivalenol in three samples, (0.8-1.0 mg), fusarenon-X in four samples (3.0-15.0 mg) and HT-2 in only one sample (3.0 mg/kg). Deoxynivalenol (three samples) and T-2 toxin (one sample) were also detected. Deoxynivalenol and nivalenol co-contaminated the same samples, with nivalenol being present at much lower levels than the former. The maize samples were not destined for human consumption.
1991年收获季节期间，从尼日利亚乔斯地区不同地点的农场采集了12份发霉玉米随机样本，主要筛查其是否受到镰刀菌霉菌毒素雪腐镰刀菌烯醇、镰刀菌烯酮-X和HT-2毒素的污染。检测到了所有这三种霉菌毒素：三份样本中含有雪腐镰刀菌烯醇（0.8 - 1.0毫克），四份样本中含有镰刀菌烯酮-X（3.0 - 15.0毫克），只有一份样本中含有HT-2（3.0毫克/千克）。还检测到了脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇（三份样本）和T-2毒素（一份样本）。脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇和雪腐镰刀菌烯醇共同污染了相同的样本，雪腐镰刀菌烯醇的含量比前者低得多。这些玉米样本并非用于人类消费。
