Coadministration of sodium alginate pellets containing the fungi Duddingtonia f...
Tavela, Alexandre de Oliveira; Araújo, Jackson Victor de; Braga, Fábio Ribeiro; Silveira, Wendeo Ferreira da; Silva, Vinicius Herold Dornelas eThe predatory nematophagous fungi have been used as an alternative control of gastrointestinal nematodes of domestic animals in natural and laboratory conditions. However, it is unclear if the association of some of these species could bring some kind of advantage, from a biological standpoint. In this context, this study consisted of two tests in vitro: in assay A, the assessment of the viability of the associ...
Effect of the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia on Echinostoma paraensei (Trematod...
Lelis, Rosane Teixeira; Braga, Fabio Ribeiro; Carvalho, Lorendane Millena de; Paula, Alessandra Teixeira de; Araujo, Juliana MilaniEchinostoma paraensei is a trematode of the genus Echinostoma that causes echinostomiasis in humans. The objectives of this study were to: evaluate the ovicidal activity of the nematophagous fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia (VC1 and VC4) on a solid medium 2% water–agar (2% WA) against E. paraensei eggs (assay A); evaluate ovicidal effect (destruction of eggs) of the isolate VC4 in supplemented culture media (assa...

First report of the activity of predatory fungi on Angiostrongylus cantonensis ...
Paula, Alessandra Teixeira de; Braga, Fabio Ribeiro; Carvalho, Lorendane Millena de; Lelis, Rosane Teixeira; Mello, Ingrid Ney Kramer deThe nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis causes eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in humans and thus alternative methods of control should be studied. The objective of this work was to evaluate the predatory capacity of eight fungal isolates of the species Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001, CG768 and CG722), Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34), M. sinense (SF53) and Arthrobotrys robusta (I31), A. cladodes (CG719) and A....
Controle biológico de Angiostrongylus cantonensis utilizando fungos nematófagos
Paula, Alessandra Teixeira deThe parasitosis, in a medical and social standpoint, presents important public health problems. In Brazil, an average of a third of population lives in areas with risk of transmission and occurrence of parasitic diseases. The lack of basic sanitation, as well as environmental factors particular of tropical climates, inequality of the socioeconomic conditions of the individuals and the lack of information are fa...
