Item Ovicidal effect of nematophagous fungi on Taenia taeniaeformis eggs(World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2009-03) Braga, F. R.; Araújo, J. V.; Carvalho, R. O.; Silva, A. R.; Araujo, J. M.; Tavela, A. O.; Costa, P. R. S.; Campos, A. K.This work evaluated the ovicidal effect of the nematophagous fungi Monacrosporium sinense (SF53), Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34) and Pochonia chlamydosporia (VC1) on Taenia taeniaeformis eggs in laboratory conditions. T. taeniaeformis eggs were plated on 2% water-agar with the grown isolates and control without fungus and examined at seven and fourteen days post-inoculation. At the end of the experiment, P. chlamydosporia showed ovicidal activity (P < 0.01) on T. taeniaeformis eggs unlike the other two species, mainly for internal egg colonization with percentage results of 32.2–54.0% at 7th and 14th day, respectively. The other fungi only showed lytic effect without morphological damage to eggshell. Results demonstrated that P. chlamydosporia was in vitro effective against Taenia taeniaeformis eggs unlike the other fungi. In this way, the use of P. chlamydosporia is suggested as a potential biological control agent for eggs of this cestode.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.Item Biological control of Ancylostomosis in dogs using the nematode-trapping fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium in southeastern Brazil(Veterinary Parasitology, 2009-06-16) Carvalho, R.O.; Araújo, J.V.; Braga, F.R.; Araujo, J.M.; Silva, A.R.; Frassy, L.N.; Alves, C.D.F.; Ferreira, S.R.Parasitic nematodes Ancylostoma caninum and Ancylostoma braziliense affect dogs and cats and have great medical and veterinary importance for their high prevalence, zoonotic potential, cosmopolitan characteristic and soil contamination by eggs and larvae. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the nematophagous fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium (isolate NF34a) in the biological control of dog hookworm, 12 adult animals, average weight between 7 and 19 kg, were separated into groups and kept in 2 different kennels: control group (without fungus) and a group treated with 0.5 g of fungal mycelium per kilogram of body weight. The animals were treated and feces samples were collected for egg count (eggs per gram of feces—EPG) and coprocultures during six months, twice a week. Every 15 days soil samples were collected from each group and examined for infective larvae (L3) in the period between March and September 2008. From April onwards, EPG and coproculture recordings in the treated group were lower than the control group (p < 0.05). Linear regression coefficients for the control group were −30.79 and −160.79 for coproculture and EPG means, respectively. The linear regression coefficients for the treated group were −5.64 and −67.64 for EPG and coproculture means, respectively. Larvae were detected in the soil throughout the experimental period. From June to the end of the experiment (September), means of L3 recovered from the kennel soil of the control group were higher than the means of the kennel soil of the treated group (p > 0.05). The regression coefficient was higher for the treated group (−5.36) than the control group (−1.14), confirming the action of M. thaumasium against larvae in the soil. M. thaumasium can be therefore considered as an alternative environmental control of Ancylostoma spp. in dogs.Item Duddingtonia flagrans, Monacrosporium thaumasium and Pochonia chlamydosporia as possible biological control agents of Oxyuris equi and Austroxyuris finlaysoni(Journal of Helminthology, 2009-07-02) Braga, F.R.; Araújo, J.V.; Silva, A.R.; Araujo, J.M.; Carvalho, R.O.; Campos, A.K.; Tavela, A.O.; Ferreira, S.R.; Frassy, L.N.; Alves, C.D.F.The action of four fungal isolates of the species Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001), Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34a) and Pochonia chlamydosporia (VC1 and VC4) on eggs of Oxyuris equi and Austroxyuris finlaysoni was evaluated in two assays (A and B). Eggs of O. equi (Test A) and A. finlaysoni (Test B) were plated on Petri dishes with 2% water-agar with grown fungal isolates and control without fungus. After 5, 10 and 15 days, 100 eggs were collected and classified according to the following parameters: type 1 effect, physiological and biochemical effect without morphological damage to the eggshell; type 2 effect, lytic effect with morphological alteration of the eggshell and embryo; and type 3 effect, lytic effect with morphological alteration of the eggshell and embryo, hyphal penetration and internal egg colonization. Pochonia chlamydosporia isolates VC1 and VC4 showed ovicidal activity for type 1, 2 and 3 effects on eggs of O. equi and eggs of A. finlaysoni. In vitro assays A and B showed that P. chlamydosporia had a negative influence on eggs of O. equi and A. finlaysoni and can be considered as a potential biological control agent of nematodes.Item Interaction and ovicidal activity of nematophagous fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia on Taenia saginata eggs(Experimental Parasitology, 2008-12-25) Araújo, Juliana M.; Araújo, Jackson V.; Braga, Fabio R.; Carvalho, Rogério O.; Silva, André R.; Campos, Artur K.The ovicidal activity of the nematophagous fungi Pochonia chlamydosporia (isolates VC1 and VC4), Duddingtonia flagrans (isolate AC001) and Monacrosporium thaumasium (isolate NF34) on Taenia saginata eggs was evaluated under laboratory conditions. T. saginata eggs were plated on 2% water-agar with fungal isolates and controls without fungus and examined after 5, 10 and 15 days. At the end of the experiment P. chlamydosporia showed ovicidal activity against T. saginata eggs (p < 0.05), mainly for internal egg colonization with results of 12.8% (VC1) and 2.2% (VC4); 18.1% (VC1) and 7.0% (VC4); 9.76% (VC1) and 8.0% (VC4) at 5, 10 and 15 days, respectively. The other fungi showed only lytic effect without morphological damage to the eggshell. Results demonstrated that P. chlamydosporia was effective in vitro against T. saginata eggs unlike the other fungi.Item In vitro predatory activity of fungi Arthrobotrys robusta, Duddingtonia flagrans and Monacrosporium thaumasium on infective larvae of Ancylostoma spp. of dogs(Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2006-03-29) Maciel, Alessandro S.; Araujo, Jackson V. De; Cecon, Paulo R.The predatory capacity of isolates of nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys robust (I31), Duddingtonia flagrans (CG768) and Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34A) on infective larvae of Ancylostoma spp. was evaluated in laboratorial conditions in experimental assay in medium water-agar 2% (WA 2%). There was significant reduction (p <0.05) of 89.89%, 97.75% and 88.76% in the average of infective larvae of Ancylostoma spp. recovered of medium WA 2% from the treatments with isolated CG768, I31 and NF34A, respectively. The isolated I31 was the most effective in the capture of the infective larvae. The results show that these fungi can be used in the environmental control of the free-living stages of Ancylostoma spp. of dogs.Item Predatory activity of the fungi Duddingtonia flagrans, Monacrosporium thaumasium, Monacrosporium sinense and Arthrobotrys robusta on Angiostrongylus vasorum first-stage larvae(Journal of Helminthology, 2009-02-16) Braga, F.R.; Carvalho, R.O.; Araujo, J.M.; Silva, A.R.; Araújo, J.V.; Lima, W.S.; Ferreira, S.R.; Tavela, A.O.Angiostrongylus vasorum is a nematode that parasitizes domestic dogs and wild canids. We compared the predatory capacity of isolates from the predatory fungi Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001), Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34), Monacrosporium sinense (SF53) and Arthrobotrys robusta (I31) on first-stage larvae (L 1 ) of A. vasorum under laboratory conditions. L 1 A. vasorum were plated on 2% water-agar (WA) Petri dishes marked into 4 mm diameter fields with the four grown isolates and a control without fungus. Plates of treated groups contained each 1000 L 1 A. vasorum and 1000 conidia of the fungal isolates AC001, NF34, SF53 and I31 on 2% WA. Plates of the control group (without fungus) contained only 1000 L 1 A. vasorum on 2% WA. Ten random fields (4 mm diameter) were examined per plate of treated and control groups, every 24 h for 7 days. Nematophagous fungi were not observed in the control group during the experiment. There was no variation in the predatory capacity among the tested fungal isolates (P . 0.05) during the 7 days of the experiment. There was a significant reduction (P , 0.05) of 80.3%, 74.5%, 74.2% and 71.8% in the means of A. vasorum L 1 recovered from treatments with isolates AC001, NF34, SF53 and I31, respectively, compared to the control without fungi. In this study, the four isolates of predatory fungi were efficient in the in vitro capture and destruction of A. vasorum L 1 , confirming previous work on the efficiency of nematophagous fungi in the control of nematode parasites of dogs and as a possible alternative method of biological control.Item Observação in vitro da ação dos isolados fúngicos Duddingtonia flagrans, Monacrosporium thaumasium e Verticillium chlamydosporium sobre ovos de Ascaris lumbricoides (Lineu, 1758)(Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2007-02-08) Braga, Fábio R.; Araújo, Jackson V.; Campos, Artur K.; Carvalho, Rogério O.; Silva, André R.; Tavela, Alexandre O.; Maciel, Alessandro S.Observou-se a ação in vitro dos fungos nematófagos Duddingtonia flagrans, Monacrosporium thaumasium e Verticillium chlamydosporium sobre ovos de Ascaris lumbricoides. Após sete, dez e quatorze dias de interação, o fungo promissor a ser utilizado no controle biológico de Asaris lumbricoides foi o Verticillium chlamydosporium (26-30%). Os outros fungos não foram satisfatórios.
