In order to clarify the association between mycotoxin – producing fungi in food and Kashin – Beck disease (KBD), the occurrence and contamination levels of fungi in samples of barley grain from KBD affected families and from unaffected families in endemic areas in Tibet was examined. In 1995, Trichothecium roseum, Dreschlera and Alternaria were the three most common fungi significantly associated with KBD. In1996 there was again a significant difference between affected and non - affected families, especially in relation to T. roseum and Ulocladium occurrence.
