Abstract: The geographic distribution and frequency of Fusarium (Liseola sp.) and fumonisin B1 presence in corn in Mexico was studied. For this purpose corn samples were obtained from 26 states of Mexico. F. verticillioides was detected in 13.22% of corn samples, there was a correlation between fungal species and the presence of fumonisin B1 (FB1) production (44.00%); low levels of FB1 were detected after 20 days of incubation (less than 7 PPM).
