Project description
This project will use an explorative approach to assemble qualitative and quantitative T-2 and HT-2 data in small grain cereals and cereal-based products in Belgium; to elucidate the occurrence of T-2 and HT-2 producing Fusarium species and their genetic diversity; to identify the presence of other mycotoxins produced by F. poae and F. langsethiae; to assess the importance of other Fusarium species within the T-2/HT-2 complex and to implement a preliminary risk assessment for T-2, HT-2 and other mycotoxins based on an exposure estimation.
