@astride_car @237nengi1 @DTheophine @Manueladiobe Also curious so please post when you know!

Pure culture of fungi ready for microscopic observations @237nengi1 @LabFusarium @DTheophine @Manueladiobe Curiose to know who we will have

Members of the FRG, Dr Diane Mostert & Prof Altus Viljoen taking part in FAO preparedness for #Fusariumwiltofbanana @FAOeagriculture @FAOAfrica @StellenboschUni fao.org/transboundary-…

Congrats to Meagan van Dyk with an article from her MSc - just published our article "Stylar canal architecture of maize is not an indicator of resistance to Fusarium verticillioides infection"

The occurrence of tropical race 4 (TR4) in Mozambique is considered a major threat to banana production in the rest of Africa. Viljoen and colleagues present the first official report of this invasive pest in Africa. bit.ly/3lMspaz @LabFusarium #IYPH2020 #PlantHealth

We are happy to announce that the 13th conference of The World #Mycotoxin Forum will be held 16-18 May 2022, Parma, Italy. In the run-up to this in-person conference, WMF will present virtually 3 pre-conferences focused on specific mycotoxin topics. More news will follow soon!

Tomorrow, our second round table meeting on #mycotoxin #legislation in Africa will take place at 10 AM CET! Check our invitation and do not hesitate to contact us if you want to join.

Congrats Lindo Makhathini, postgraduate Geology student, for being selected as one of the 100 Mandelas of the Future. This initiative by Media24 recognizes 100 young South Africans who are a new generation of leaders to take South Africa forward!

To all who attended the 2nd African Symposium on Mycotoxicology in Mombasa, a big thank you for coming, contributing & interacting. Here’s to friendship & fruitful collaboration to mitigate mycotoxin contamination in Africa! #ASM2018
