Co-occurrence of ochratoxin A and citrinin in cereals from Bulgarian villages with a history of Balkan endemic nephropathy.

Cereal samples were collected from three Bulgarian villages with a history of Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) and one village without a history of BEN. Samples including foods (wheat, corn) and feeds (barley, oats, wheat bran) were analysed for OA and citrinin. Highest toxin levels were found in wheat, wheat  bran and oats. For OA, the percentages of positives for the one non-endemic and three endemic villages were 35,29,30 and 47%, respectively, with mean values of positives of 1.5,11,18 and 3.5 mg/kg, respectively. For citrinin, 5,14,3.3    and 13% were positive, and the mean values of positives were 6.1,180,10 and 84 mg/kg, respectively. Highest concentrations of OA and citrinin were afound in samples fron endemic villages.
