: Permanently replacing missing teeth in the younger population is a clinical challenge. However, dental autotransplantation offers a viable treatment option in this demographic. To be performed predictably, it requires proper diagnoses, planning, and adherence to established guidelines in a multidisciplinary approach.

A rapid and non-invasive mass spectrometry-based electronic nose (MS-eNose) method, combined with chemometric analysis, was developed for the early detection of Aspergillus westerdijkiae on caciocavallo cheeses during ripening process. MS-eNose analyses were carried out on caciocavallo inoculated with ochratoxin A (OTA) non-producing species and artificially contaminated with A. westerdijkiae, an OTA producing species.

Maize is a worldwide crop yet can be associated with mycotoxigenic fungi, much investigated in humid tropical and cooler, wet temperate regions. However, in hot, arid/semi-arid regions data on their occurrence are poor. In this paper, we focused on interactions between maize and Fusarium fungal species in Tunisia, which has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and milder, damper winters.

Article Synopsis
  • Pistachio nuts are important for their nutritional value and health benefits, but they face risks from fungal contamination, particularly from toxic fungi species.
  • Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger are the most common fungi found on pistachios, known for producing harmful mycotoxins like aflatoxins and ochratoxins.
  • This study focuses on monitoring fungal populations in Turkish pistachio samples, revealing mixed strains of A. flavus, including both aflatoxin producers and non-producers, and identifying a new genotype among the non-producing strains.
