Ovicidal action of a crude enzymatic extract of fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia against Ancylostoma sp eggs

Ancylostoma sp is a potentially zoonotic geohelminth. This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the action of crude enzyme extract of Pochonia chlamydosporia (VC4) on eggs of Ancylostoma sp in 2% water-agar and in fecal cultures. The percentage reduction in Ancylostoma sp egg eclosion was 76.8% in Petri...

Description
Summary:Ancylostoma sp is a potentially zoonotic geohelminth. This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the action of crude enzyme extract of Pochonia chlamydosporia (VC4) on eggs of Ancylostoma sp in 2% water-agar and in fecal cultures. The percentage reduction in Ancylostoma sp egg eclosion was 76.8% in Petri dishes of the treated group compared to the control group. The crude enzyme extract of Pochonia chlamydosporia was effective at reducing Ancylostoma sp egg eclosion and can be used as biological control of this nematode.
