The ability of four strains of Aspergillus parasiticus (IMI 301 001) and two strains of Aspergillus flavus (IMI 300998) to produce aflatoxins on Nigerian groundnuts under varying conditions of temperature was studied. While all the A . parasiticus strains produced the four major aflatoxjns (Bl, B,,
