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...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of egg age and pre-colonization of cysts by a saprophytic or parasitic fungus on parasitism of Heterodera glycines eggs by other parasitic fungi. In agar and in soil tests, fungi generally parasitized more eggs in early developmental stages than eggs containing a juvenile. The effect of pre-colonization of cysts by a fungus on parasitism o...

The present work was carried out to isolate and identify fungi species present in dead-in-shell chick embryo. A total of three thousand dead-in-shell embryonated chicken eggs pooled into 300 eggs (10 eggs per group) were collected from the four hatcheries over a period of six months. The contents of the pooled eggs were inoculated onto Sabourauds Dextrose Agar (SDA) and Corn Meal Agar (CMA) sla...

Pheasant eggs of different colors differ with regard to physical properties. This study was conducted to ascertain the intensity of infestation by microscopic fungi based on egg color. Settling intensity by microscopic fungi of pheasant egg shells and the content of eggs of different color during a 7-d storage period was investigated. The content of ergosterol (ERG) was used as a quantitative i...
