    Rodriguez-Martinez R, Mendoza-de-Gives P, Aguilar-Marcelino L, Lopez-Arellano ME, Gamboa-Angulo M, Rosas-Saito GH, Reyes-Estebanez M, & Garcia-Rubio VG (2018). In Vitro Lethal Activity of the Nematophagous Fungus Clonostachys rosea (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) against Nematodes of Five Different Taxa. Biomed Res Int, 2018, 3501827. doi:10.1155/2018/3501827

    This study was aimed to evaluate the <i>in vitro</i> lethal activity of the nematophagous fungi <i>Clonostachys rosea</i> against 5 nematodes species belonging to different taxa. Two groups of 35 Petri dishes (PD) each were divided into 5 series of 7 (PD). Group 1 (series 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) contained only water agar; meanwhile group 2 plates (series 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) contained <i>C. rosea</i> cultures growth on water agar. Every plate from the two groups was added with 500 nematodes corresponding to the following genera/specie: <i>Haemonchus contortus</i>, <i>Caenorhabditis elegans, Rhabditis</i> sp., <i>Panagrellus redivivus</i>, and <i>Butlerius</i> sp. After 5-day incubation at room temperature, free (nontrapped) larvae were recovered from plates using the Baermann funnel technique. Recovered nematodes were counted and compared with their proper controls. Results shown an important reduction percentage of the nematode population attributed to the fungal lethal activity as follows: <i>H. contortus</i> (L<sub>3</sub>) 87.7%; C. <i>elegans</i> 94.7%; <i>Rhabditis</i> sp. 71.9%; <i>P. redivivus</i> 92.7%; and <i>Butlerius</i> sp. 100% (<i>p</i> 0.05). The activity showed by <i>C. rosea</i> against the <i>H. contortus</i> can be crucial for further studies focused to the biological control of sheep haemonchosis, although the environmental impact against beneficial nematodes should be evaluated.
