        abstract = {The incidence of fungal infection and levels of aflatoxin contamination (produced by Aspergillus flavus) were studied in groundnuts collected from farmers at lifting and after drying/curing, and from traders in Nampula, Mozambique, during 1997-98. Of 34 samples collected at lifting, 13 were contaminated with aflatoxins and 8 had aflatoxin levels {\ensuremath{>}}30 ?g/kg. Of 30 samples collected after drying, 10 had aflatoxins and 4 had {\ensuremath{>}}30 ?g/kg. Of 10 samples collected from traders, only 2 had aflatoxin contamination. Aflatoxin G1 was predominant in samples collected at lifting and aflatoxin B1 in samples collected from traders.}
