Influence of the preservation period in silica-gel on the predatory activity of...
Braga, Fabio Ribeiro; Araújo, Jackson Victor; Araujo, Juliana Milani; Tavela, Alexandre de Oliveira; Ferreira, Sebastião RodrigoThe continued maintenance of nematophagous fungi predatory activity under laboratory conditions is one of the basic requirements for a successful biological control. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of time on the preservation of the fungus Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001 and CG722) stored in silica-gel for 7 years and their subsequent predatory activity on cyathostomin L3 larvae in 2% water...
Biological control of Ascaris suum eggs by Pochonia chlamydosporia fungus
Ferreira, Sebastião Rodrigo; Araújo, Jackson Victor de; Braga, Fábio Ribeiro; Araujo, Juliana Milani; Frassy, Luiza Neme; Ferreira, Aloízio SoaresAscaris suum is a gastrointestinal nematode parasite of swines. The aim of this study was to observe Pochonia chlamydosporia fungus on biological control of A. suum eggs after fungus passage through swines gastrointestinal tract. Eighteen pigs, previously dewormed, were randomly divided into three groups: group 1, treated with the fungus isolate VC4; group 2, treated with the fungus isolate VC1 and group 3 did ...
Ovicidal action of a crude enzymatic extract of the fungus Pochonia chlamydospo...
Braga, Fabio Ribeiro; Araújo, Jackson Victor; Carvalho, Rogério Oliva; Silva, André Ricardo; Araujo, Juliana Milani; Soares, Filippe E. FeitasThe aims of this study were to test the action of the fungal extract of Pochonia chlamydosporia (VC4) on the hatching of cyathostomin eggs plated in Petri dishes containing 2% water-agar (2% WA) and its enzymatic activity in fecal cultures, in two experimental assays (A and B). The fungus P. chlamydosporia (VC4) was cultured in Erlenmeyer flasks (250 ml) containing 50 ml of liquid minimal medium supplemented wi...
In vitro predatory activity of nematophagous fungi Duddingtonia flagrans on inf...
Ferreira, Sebastião Rodrigo; Araújo, Jackson Victor de; Braga, Fabio Ribeiro; Araujo, Juliana Milani; Fernandes, Fernanda MaraOne isolate of predator fungi Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001) was assessed in vitro regarding the capacity of supporting the passage through pigs' gastrointestinal tract without loss of the ability of preying infective larvae Oesophagostomum spp. Fungal isolates survived the passage and were efficient in preying L3 since the first 8 h of collection (p < 0.01) in relation to the control group (without fungus). Com...
Biological control of cyathostomin (Nematoda: Cyathostominae) with nematophagou...
Tavela, Alexandre de Oliveira; Araújo, Jackson Victor; Braga, Fábio Ribeiro; Silva, André Ricardo; Carvalho, Rogério Oliva; Araujo, Juliana MilaniHorses are hosts to a wide variety of helminthes; the most important are the cyathostomin, or small strongyles. The viability of a fungal formulation (pellets) using the nematode- trapping fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium was assessed in biological control of horse cyathostomin. Two groups (fungus-treated and control) consisted of six mares in each group, crossbred (ages of 2.5 and 3.5 years), were placed in pa...
Activity of the nematophagous fungi Pochonia chlamydosporia, Duddingtonia flagr...
Araujo, Juliana Milani; Araújo, Jackson Victor de; Braga, Fabio Ribeiro; Carvalho, Rogério Oliva; Ferreira, Sebastião RodrigoNematophagous fungi are potential biological control agents of helminths. The in vitro ovicidal effect of four isolates of the nematophagous fungi Pochonia chlamydosporia (VC1 and VC4), Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001) and Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34) was evaluated on egg capsules of Dipylidium caninum, a cestode parasite of dogs, cats and humans. One thousand egg capsules of D. caninum were plated on 2% water...
Viability of the nematophagous fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia after passage thr...
Braga, Fabio Ribeiro; Araújo, Jackson Victor; Silva, André Ricardo; Carvalho, Rogério Oliva; Araujo, Juliana Milani; Ferreira, Sebastião RodrigoThe predatory capacity of the nematophagous fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia (isolate VC4) embedded in sodium alginate pellets after passage through the gastrointestinal tract of horses was assessed in vitro against Oxyuris equi eggs. Twelve previously dewormed crossbred mares, average weight of 362.5 kg (±21) were used in the experiment. Each animal of the treated group received an oral dose (100 g) of sodium al...
Destruição de ovos de Toxocara canis pelo fungo nematófago Pochonia chlamydosporia
Frassy, Luiza Neme; Braga, Fabio Ribeiro; Silva, André Ricardo e; Araújo, Jackson Victor de; Ferreira, Sebastião Rodrigo; Freitas, Leandro Grassi deToxocara canis é um ascarídeo parasita do intestino delgado de cães, causador da larva migrans visceral em seres humanos. Com o objetivo de demonstrar a eficácia do fungo Pochonia chlamydosporia sobre ovos de Toxocara canis em condições laboratoriais, foi montado ensaio experimental em placas de Petri com ágar-água 2%. Houve atividade ovicida de 43,8% (p<0,01) do grupo tratado em relação ao grupo controle duran...
A new methodology for evaluation of nematode viability
Ferreira, Sebastião Rodrigo; Mendes, Tiago Antônio Oliveira; Bueno, Lilian Lacerda; Araújo, Jackson Victor de; Bartholomeu, Daniella CastanheiraNematodes infections are responsible for debilitating conditions and economic losses in domestic animals as well as livestock and are considered an important public health problem due to the high prevalence in humans. The nematode resistance for drugs has been reported for livestock, highlighting the importance for development of new anthelmintic compounds. The aim of the current study was to apply and compare ...
In vitro biological control of infective larvae of Ancylostoma ceylanicum
Fernandes, Fernanda Mara; Araújo, Jackson Victor; Braga, Fabio Ribeiro; Gazzinelli-Guimarães, Pedro Henrique; Araujo, Juliana MilaniO objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a atividade predatória do fungo Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001) sobre larvas infectantes de Ancylostoma ceylanicum após o trânsito gastrintestinal em hamsters. Foram utilizados vinte animais no experimento, divididos em dois grupos: um grupo tratado (10 animais) e um grupo controle (10 animais). No grupo tratado com D. flagrans, cada animal recebeu 5mg/25g de peso vivo de mic...
