Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

  1. AflaILVB/G/I and AflaILVD are involved in mycelial production, aflatoxin biosynthesis, and fungal virulence in Aspergillus flavus

    • Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology

    • Aflatoxins (AFs) are produced by fungi such as Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus and are one of the most toxic mycotoxins found in agricultural products and food. Aflatoxin contamination, which requires the control of A. flavus, remains problematic because of the lack of effective strategies and the exploration of new compounds that can inhibit A. flavus growth and mycotoxin production is urgently required to alleviate potential deleterious effects.

  2. Phosphoglucose Isomerase Plays a Key Role in Sugar Homeostasis, Stress Response, and Pathogenicity in Aspergillus flavus

    • Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology

    • Aspergillus flavus is one of the important human and plant pathogens causing not only invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients but also crop contamination resulting from carcinogenic aflatoxins (AFs). Investigation of the targeting factors that are involved in pathogenicity is of unmet need to dismiss the hazard.
