title: [A survey of T-2 toxin in wheat by an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay].
abstract: The survey of T-2 toxin in wheat randomly sampled in nine provinces was carried out, employing an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Among 330 samples, 264 samples (80%) showed positive results. The mean concentrations was 53.3 ppb. and maximal concentration was 1122.0 ppb. It was also detected high concentration (84.5-1064.4) of T-2 toxin in human intoxication wheat samples in 1991. The investigation also showed that there existed close relationship between the level of T-2 toxin contamination and the epidemic of wheat scabby.
