Polyphasic approach to the identification of Aspergillus section Flavi isolated from Brazil nuts
The aim of this study was to use a polyphasic approach to identify Aspergillus section Flavi isolated from Brazil nuts collected in the Amazon forest: investigation of macro- and microscopic morphology, production of extrolites, heat-resistance fungi, and sequencing of DNA regions. The following Aspergillus section Flavi species were identified: Aspergillus flavus (75.5%), Aspergillus nomius (22.3%), […]
Mycobiota and mycotoxins in Brazil nut samples from different states of the Brazilian Amazon region

Mediterranean diet and CHD: the Greek European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort.
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) has been reported to improve CHD prognosis and to be inversely associated with CHD mortality. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of adherence to the MD with CHD incidence and mortality in the Greek European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort, a population […]
