Induction of traps byOstertagia ostertagilarvae, chlamydospore production and growth rate in the nematode-trapping fungusDuddingtonia flagrans

Abstract: Biological control of parasitic nematodes of domestic animals can be achieved by feeding host animals chlamydospores of the nematode-trapping fungus Duddingtonia flagrans. In the host faeces, D. flagrans develop traps that may catch nematode larvae. In experiments on agar, D. flagrans had a growth rate between 15 and 60 mm/week at temperatures between 20 and 30°C. The presence of nematodes induces the fungus to produce traps. The rate of trap formation in D. flagrans has an optimum at 30°C, producing 700-800 t… Show more

“…Their conclusion shows that even both species are predators they were not stimulated by nematodes. Gronvold et al (1996) observed trap formation of Duddingtonia flagrans being influenced by hyphae aging, with better activity at 30 o C than 20 o C, enduring for two or three weeks, period from what on trap inductility reduced. The authors also guarantee that larvae migration (Ostertagia ostertagi) was indispensable for trap formation and as their movement reduces at 10 o C it explicates low trap formation at this temperature, though their work did not considered control plates to conclude whether trap would be induced only in plates with nematodes.…”

“…This was particularly the case for the faecal deposits of May, July and September with a reduction in larval numbers from 50 to 93% compared to the control. These periods of time probably correspond to the temperature requirements of D. flagrans for hyphal growth rate and trap production which are between 15 and 30 °C [9,11]. However, for the May deposit, no larvae were recovered until 8 weeks after faecal deposition in the control plot, when a sharp increase occurred with a rather low percentage of development of the eggs into L3 (0.018 to 0.028 L3/eggs deposited according to the nematode species).…”

“…Such observations have been made by Mounport et al [17] in the South of France in Mediterranean garrigues where faeces represented the main reservoir of infective larvae during the dry periods of the grazing season. This delay in migration for several weeks could lead to a reduction in the production of the nematode trapping structures by the fungus, that has been reported to occur after 2 or 3 weeks exposure to such conditions in the laboratory [11]. In addition, reduced fungal growth due to the low humidity might further explain the moderate (50-60%) efficacy of D. flagrans at that time.…”
