520 _aMaize kernels were obtained from geographically diverse regions of the worldthrough the international maize testing programmes of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre's (CIMMYT) cooperative programme. Surface- sterilized kernels were incubated and fungi that emerged were identified and counted. Predominant fungi were Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium spp. More than two-thirds of the kernels obtained from Bolivia (83%), Mexico (67%), and Thailand (79%) were infected with A. flavus group, whereas 17% to 42% of samplesfrom Brazil, Burma, Ghana, Ivory Coast and India were infected by the same group.
