Reduced ability to
cope with diseases,
especially HIV/AIDS
Liver cirrhosis, immuno-suppression,
blocks nutrient absorption, growth
abnormalities, etc.

• The most effective measures to control aflatoxins depends on
a program that “monitors” their presence in food and feeds.
But,
• Monitoring programs in SSA relies on importation of diagnostic
tools, which are expensive, some have short shelf-life and
prohibitive for majority of the stakeholders.
• “Sustainability” depends on the
-Sustainable access to basic reagents at affordable costs.
-Suitability for application in a minimally equipped labs.
Problems in containing aflatoxins

• ELISA have been proven to be easy for adoption in developing
countries.
ELISA: Ideal test for SSA
• IITA has developed cheap and high-through put screening systems
which dramatically reduces the phenotyping cost.
Afla-ELISATM is a simple and low-cost
test for quantitative estimation of
aflatoxins developed at IITA.

Three simple steps
1. Sample Extraction
3. Data input into software
2. ELISA

1. Ground 20 g sample (maize)
2. Resuspend in 100 ml of
0.5% KCL in 70% Methanol
3. Mix the suspension (30 min) 4. Filter the extract
Sample extraction
5. Use it in ELISA
