The seeds were associated with 20 species of fungi belonging to 12 genera. However, the most dominant fungi were the species of <em>Aspergillus <\/em>and<em> Penicillium<\/em>, especially <em>Aspergillus flavus <\/em>and <em>Aspergillus niger <\/em>species were the most frequent. Also,<em> Fusarium<\/em>,<em> Mucor <\/em>and <em>Rhizopus <\/em>were recovered in high or medium incidences on PDA medium. In conclusion, the seeds of watermelon, sunflower and pumpkin consumed at entertainment in Yemen Republic are highly, contaminated with toxigenic fungi, especially <em>Aspergillus flavus <\/em>and <em>Aspergillus niger <\/em>species, which were found in this study.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: 17px;\"><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>\u00a0Yemen, Za\u2019aqa, <em>Aspergillus,<\/em> <em>Penicillium<\/em> and <em>Fusarium<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: 17px;\">Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v10n1p36-1.pdf\">pdf<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shawqi EL-Ariqi (1)* and Rihann Al-Fa\u2019aq(1) (1).
