FILOSE ACTIVITY IN METAZOAN EGGS

Fungal ovicidal activity on Toxocara canis eggs.

BACKGROUND Visceral toxocariasis is a parasitic zoonosis caused by Toxocara canis. The prevalence of this parasite in dogs, soil contamination and the resistance of eggs increase human exposure to the disease. Moreover, the difficulties of the control measures justify the need for alternative ones. AIMS The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro ovicidal activity of fungi isolat...

In Vitro Ovicidal Activity of Nematophagous Fungus Paecilomyces lilacinus on the Eggs of Parasitic Helminths

Introduction: The nematophagus fungi have been suggested as an alternative way to eliminate the zoonotic helminths eggs from the environment. In the present study, we evaluated the ovicidal activity of a fungus, Paecilomyces lilacinus, recovered from a compost soil, on the eggs of parasitic helminths under in vitro condition. Methods: Water suspension of the soil samples collected from differen...

Antimicrobial activity from ticks eggs waxes

Introduction Ticks lay their eggs in the environment and cover the eggs in a waxy layer to protect them from desiccation and microbial attack. This wax is produced by an organ known as Gene ́s Organ. Bio prospection has shown the presence of active principles in the hemolymph of arthropods as well as in the salivary glands of ticks. Some of these are of interest for the development of new pharma...

Antioxidant activity in cooked and simulated digested eggs.

The avian egg is an excellent source of nutrients consisting of components with beneficial properties but there is limited knowledge on the effect of cooking methods and gastrointestinal digestion on the antioxidant activity of eggs. The present study was focused on the effect of cooking and simulated gastrointestinal digestion on antioxidant activity of eggs using ORAC, ABTS and DPPH assays. T...
