Item Control of bovine gastrointestinal nematode parasites using pellets of the nematode-trapping fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium(Ciência Rural, 2004-03) Araújo, Jackson Victor de; Guimarães, Marcos Pezzi; Campos, Artur Kanadani; Sá, Nilo Chaves de; Sarti, Priscilla; Assis, Rafaela Carolina LopesThe viability of a formulation of the fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium associated with ivermectin was evaluated for the biological control of bovine gastrointestinal nematode parasites. Four groups of five calves each were placed in pastures with a stocking rate of 1.6 animal/hectare. In group 1 (control), the calves did not receive any treatment. In group 2, each animal received 20g of pellets of M. thaumasium orally twice a week during a six-month period that began with the onset of the rainy season (October 23, 2000). In group 3, each animal received 20g of pellets of M. thaumasium orally twice a week during the same period as 2, as well as two strategic treatments with ivermectin (200 mcg/kg) on May 10, 2001 and July 5, 2001. In group 4, the animals were treated with ivermectin alone as described for group 3. EPG counts for group 1 were significantly greater (P< 0.01) than those for groups 2 and 3 and the difference at the end of the study period was near 100%. The EPGs of group 4 animals remained high until the first strategic treatment with ivermectin. Values for groups 1 and 4 differed significantly (P< 0.05) from those of groups 2 and 3 from December 2000 onwards. It was concluded that the use of this dose and periodicity of application of M. thaumasium pellets makes the application of anthelminthic treatments unnecessary.Item Atividade predatória, crescimento radial e esporulação de fungos predadores de nematóides Monacrosporium spp, submetidos à criopreservação(Ciência Rural, 2004-03) Campos, Artur Kanadani; Mota, Marcelo de Andrade; Araújo, Jackson Victor de; Cecon, Paulo RobertoTestes in vitro foram realizados para avaliar o efeito da criopreservação em nitrogênio líquido com e sem adição de crioprotetores (DMSO ou glicerol), na atividade predatória sobre larvas infectantes de Cooperia sp e Haemonchus sp, crescimento radial e produção de conídios de dois isolados de fungos predadores de nematóides (Monacrosporium sinense e Monacrosporium appendiculatum). A capacidade predatória dos fungos sobre larvas infectantes de Cooperia sp e Haemonchus sp dos fungos previamente submetidos aos diferentes métodos de preservação não foi afetada. O crescimento radial dos fungos criopreservados com glicerol 10% foi mais expressivo(p<0,05), quando comparado ao apresentado pelos fungos congelados com DMSO 10 % ou água. A produção de esporos foi maior (p< 0,05) no fungo M. appendiculatum preservado a 4ºC em geladeira.Item Activity of the nematophagous fungi Pochonia chlamydosporia, Duddingtonia flagrans and Monacrosporium thaumasium on egg capsules of Dipylidium caninum(Veterinary Parasitology, 2009-12-03) 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-agar with the grown isolates and control without fungus. The ovicidal activity of these fungi was evaluated 5, 10 and 15 days after incubation. Only P. chlamydosporia showed ovicidal activity (p < 0.05) on D. caninum egg capsules, of 19.6% (VC1) and 20% (VC4) on the 5th day; 44.2% (VC1) and 31.5% (VC4) on the 10th day; and 49.2% (VC1) and 41.9% (VC4) on the 15th day. D. flagrans and M. thaumasium caused no morphological damage to egg capsules. The results demonstrated that P. chlamydosporia was in vitro effective against capsules and eggs of D. caninum, and can be considered as a potential biological control agent for this helminth.
