Pear fruiits of cv. Abate fetel were experimentally inoculated with Penicillium expansum, Aspergillus flavus, Stemphylium vesicarium and Alternaria alternata. The infected fruits were split longitudinally through the centre of lesions (5, 10, 15 and 20 mm in diameter) and were divided into four sections. The fungi were isolated in different frequencies from all sections including diseased and healthy tissues. Patulin was detected in the flesh of pears with lesions 10 mm in diameter whten inoculated with P. expansum, S. vesicarium and A. alternata mycotoxin concentrations surpassed the accepted maximum residue limit in all sections, even in apparently sound tissues.
