Abstract
⺠We studied mycoflora and mycotoxins production in Brazil nuts, soil and air samples. ⺠Despite toxigenic strains of A. flavus, no aflatoxins or CPA were found in samples. ⺠Increasing the contact time of pods with soil increased contamination with A. flavus. ⺠Soil was appointed as the main route of fungal contamination in Brazil nuts.
