The nematophagous fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium and its nematicidal activity on Angiostrongylus vasorum.
BACKGROUND The dog acts as a reservoir and environmental disseminator of potentially zoonotic parasites. AIMS The objective of this work was to study the fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium regarding its nematicidal potential in laboratory trials and its proteolytic profile. METHODS The in vitro test was carried out through two assays (A and B). In assay A, conidia of the fungus N34a were adde...
متن کاملIn 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...
متن کاملIn vitro predatory activity of conidia of fungal isolates of the Duddingtonia flagrans on Angiostrongylus vasorum first-stage larvae.
INTRODUCTION Angiostrongylus vasorum is a nematode that parasitizes molluscs, dogs, and even man. METHODS The objective was to evaluate the predatory activity of the conidia of two fungal isolates of Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001 and CG722) on first-stage larvae (L1) of A. vasorum in laboratory conditions. RESULTS At the end of the experiment, there were significant reductions (p<0.01) of 74...
متن کاملNematophagous fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora mimics olfactory cues of sex and food to lure its nematode prey
To study the molecular basis for predator-prey coevolution, we investigated how Caenorhabditis elegans responds to the predatory fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora. C. elegans and other nematodes were attracted to volatile compounds produced by A. oligospora. Gas-chromatographic mass-spectral analyses of A. oligospora-derived volatile metabolites identified several odors mimicking food cues attract...
متن کاملOptimization of protease production by the fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium and its action against Angiostrongylus vasorum larvae Otimização da produção de protease pelo fungo Monacrosporium thaumasium e sua ação contra larvas de Angiostrongylus vasorum
The objectives of this study were to optimize protease production from the nematophagous fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34a) and evaluate its larvicidal activity and biological stability. An isolate of the nematophagous fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34a) was used to produce the enzyme. The Plackett-Burman design was used in order to scan which components of the culture medium could h...
