“…The search for the potential use of the nematocidal compounds from different EM species has included a small number of studies using free-living nematodes [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] and some studies exploring the activity against parasitic nematodes of plants [17,20,22,[26][27][28][29] under in vitro conditions. More recently, different EM materials began to be screened for their nematocidal activity against larval stages of ruminant parasitic nematodes [8,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. The present review confirmed that the number of scientific studies on the nematocidal activity of EM is still small.…”

“…The authors also reported several metabolites present in the bioactive fraction, including four fatty acids: (i) hexadecanoic acid, (ii) octadecanoic acid, (iii) 2-butoxy phosphate ethanol, and (iv) 2-butoxy phosphate ethanol (3 : 1) and a xylitol sugar [35]. In another study, Vieira et al [32] evaluated aqueous extracts obtained from Agaricus blazei fruiting bodies against H. contortus eggs and found 100% EHI at 3.62 mg/mL after 72 h confrontation. Similarly, a hydroalcoholic extract from P. djamor fruiting bodies was assessed against eggs and infective larvae of H. contortus, and one of the fractions obtained from this extract showed 100% EHI at 10 mg/mL after 72 h exposure.…”

The present paper reviewed publications on the nematocidal activity of edible mushrooms (EM) and their potential use as sustainable tools for the control of parasitic nematodes affecting agriculture and livestock industry. Nematodes are organisms living in the soil and animals’ guts where they may live as parasites severely affecting economically important crops and farm animals, thus causing economic losses to worldwide agriculture. Traditionally, parasitic nematodes have been controlled using commercial pesticides and anthelmintic (AH) drugs. Over the years, nematodes developed resistance to the AH drugs, reducing the usefulness of many commercial drugs. Also, the use of pesticides/anthelmintic drugs to control nematodes can have important negative impacts on the environment. Different EM have been not only used as food but also studied as alternative methods for controlling several diseases including parasitic nematodes. The present paper reviewed publications from the last decades about the nematocidal activity of EM and assessed their potential use as sustainable tools for the control of nematodes affecting agriculture and livestock industry. A reduced number of reports on the effect of EM against nematodes were found, and an even smaller number of reports regarding the potential AH activity of chemical compounds isolated from EM products were found. However, those studies have produced promising results that certainly deserve further investigation. It is concluded that EM, their fractions and extracts, and some compounds contained in them may have biotechnological application for the control of animal and plant parasitic nematodes.

Article history Sheep farming is an important economic activity from a commercial and subsistence perspective. However, helminth infections present a large sanitary problem for the production, especially haemonchosis caused by strains resistant to traditional anthelmintics. Here, we evaluated the effects of the stem and leaf of Tithonia diversifolia on the inhibition of Haemonchus contortus larval development. We performed a quantitative fecal culture test with feces of sheep inoculated with larvae tolerant to albendazole. Fecal cultures were treated with leaf or stem powder and were compared to the controls containing distilled water or levamisole. The T. diversifolia leaf and stem powders significantly reduced the production of H. contortus larvae. However, leaf powder was more effective, with 64.95% efficacy in the reduction of larvae production, representing a promising alternative in the integrated control of this nematode.

Control of Haemonchus contortus in sheep using basidiocarps of Agaricus blazei Murril

Abstract: The fungi supplementation promotes, respectively, high and moderate anthelmintic efficacy with in vitro and in vivo tests, respectively, suggesting it as an alternative or complementary treatment for haemonchosis in sheep.
