Abstract
Evaluation of a Herbal Muco-adhesive Gel for Treatment of Oral Submucous Fibrosis in Wistar Rats
Highlights
The objective of this study was to evaluate the pathogenicity of Metarhizium anisopliae (Ma) and Beauveria bassiana (Bb) isolates, obtained from adult Ctenocephalides canis, the dog flea, under laboratory conditions
Four isolates identified as Bb9, Bb6, Ma9 and Ma10, were the most pathogenic as mycosis reached 100%, which places them as potential candidates to be used as biological control agents
The taxonomic identification was made using the keys of Humber (1997), based on macroaspects, such as color, diameter and mycelial texture, while a light microscope was used for identification of mycelium obtained (Table I). This is the first report of an isolation of M. anisopliae in C. canis, whereas B. bassiana has been previously reported in this flea in Mexico (OrtegaPalomares et al, 2014)
Summary
The objective of this study was to evaluate the pathogenicity of Metarhizium anisopliae (Ma) and Beauveria bassiana (Bb) isolates, obtained from adult Ctenocephalides canis, the dog flea, under laboratory conditions. Four isolates identified as Bb9, Bb6, Ma9 and Ma10, were the most pathogenic as mycosis reached 100%, which places them as potential candidates to be used as biological control agents. The control of flea infestations mainly includes occurrence of EPF in C. canis
