    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;The threat of aflatoxin contamination in food commodities and its association with health risks&lt;br&gt; in both animals and humans continues to raise increasing concern over years. In this research, A.&lt;br&gt; flavus species found in association with peanuts in storage and their potential to produce&lt;br&gt; aflatoxin in collected samples was determined. About 11 to 87% of collected peanut samples&lt;br&gt; were infected with various moulds including Rhizopus sp., Fusarium sp., Aspergilus flavus, A.&lt;br&gt; niger, other Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., and other undefined sp.&lt;br&gt; Aspergillus flavus is known to be the most patent aflatoxigenic strains infects 80.69 % of the&lt;br&gt; total samples analyzed. Eighty five percent of the tested isolates of A. flavus were capable for&lt;br&gt; the production of aflatoxins.&lt;br&gt; From the total of 52 peanut (Arachis hypogaea) samples analyzed, 38 (73.06 %) were positive&lt;br&gt; for aflatoxin. The average levels of aflatoxins detected in the seed samples were between&lt;br&gt; 0.57(from Babile new harvest sample) to 447.02 ppb (from Babile three month stored in pp bag).&lt;br&gt; The higher level of toxicity is more than twenty times greater than the acceptable dosage (20&lt;br&gt; ppb: US Standards) in peanuts of three month stored after wet shelling. This research pointed out&lt;br&gt; that the storage and shelling practice of farmers have effects in aflatoxin contamination in peanut&lt;br&gt; despite enormous efforts to control this mycotoxin&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
