💨 Abstract

The deaths of 10 elephants in Madhya Pradesh's Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve are suspected to be due to kodo poisoning caused by mycotoxins associated with kodo millet, a type of cereal grain grown extensively in Central India. Kodo millet is prone to a fungal disease that can infest the crop, leading to mycotoxins that are harmful to both humans and animals.
