| dispersal of dictyocaulus viviparus larvae from bovine faeces in ireland. | an involvement of pilobolus species fungus in the dispersal of dictyocaulus viviparus third stage larvae from dung to surrounding herbage under irish conditions was investigated. the presence of pilobolus kleinii on artificial dung pats containing first stage larvae of d viviparus was associated with a 19-fold increase (p less than 0.05) in numbers of third stage larvae recovered from the surrounding herbage. a subjective examination of natural dung pats showed that the presence of pilobolus spe ... | 1985 | 2930934 |
| viability and pattern of emergence of dictyocaulus viviparus larvae in sporangia of the fungus pilobolus kleinii. | recoveries of third stage dicytocaulus viviparus larvae (l3) from pilobolus species sporangia ranged from 23 per cent at 21 days to 3 per cent after 90 days for sporangia attached to polythene discs positioned on pasture. there was a continuous release of l3 for up to 16 days from sporangia which were placed under conditions simulating those occurring on pasture. | 1985 | 4035088 |
| [lungworm disease in cattle, a persistent problem?]. | from the results of a number of studies it is concluded that: (1) cattle of a large proportion (approximately 80 per cent) of the dairy farms in the netherlands were infected with l3 larvae of dictyocaulus viviparus during the grazing season in 1981. (2) experiments showed a significant negative cubic effect on the level of infection with l3 larvae of d. viviparus on the growth of calves. (3) sporangia of pilobolus kleinii harbouring l3 larvae were shot significantly further away than sporangia ... | 1983 | 6224312 |
| observations on relationships between infective juveniles of bovine lungworm, dictyocaulus viviparus (nematoda: strongylida) and the fungi, pilobolus kleinii and p. crystallinus (zygomycotina: zygomycetes). | infective 3rd-stage larvae of dictyocaulus viviparus were filmed whilst climbing sporangiophores of the coprophilous fungus, pilobolus and invading sporangia in numbers up to about 50, shortly before the sporangia were explosively discharged. like the sporangiophores of pilobolus the nematodes reacted positively towards light. robinson (1962) demonstrated the spectacular way in which d. viviparus can be dispersed by pilobolus, although he saw the nematodes accumulating only on top of the sporang ... | 1981 | 7195538 |
| coprophilous fungi of the horse. | a total of 1267 microfungi, including 35 myxomycetes, were recorded from the fecal samples of the 60 horses; of these 395 were found on 20 saddle-horse feces, 363 on 20 race-horses and 509 on 20 working horses. eighty two species representing 53 genera were recorded; of these 7 were zygomycetes, 18 ascomycetes, 1 basidiomycetes and 25 fungi imperfecti: 2 myxomycetes. common coprophilous fungi are in decreasing order pilobolus kleinii, saccobolus depauperatus, mucor hiemalis, lasiobolus ciliatus, ... | 1981 | 7242651 |
| interspecific competition between the nematode-trapping fungus, duddingtonia flagrans, and selected microorganisms and the effect of spore concentration on the efficacy of nematode trapping. | the fungus, duddingtonia flagrans, is able to trap and kill free-living nematode larvae of the cattle parasite cooperia oncophora when chlamydospores are mixed in cattle faeces. isolates of bacillus subtilis (two isolates), pseudomonas spp. (three isolates) and single isolates of the fungal genera alternaria, cladosporium, fusarium, trichoderma and verticillium were isolated from cattle faeces and shown to reduce d. flagrans growth on agar plates. when these isolates were added to cattle faeces ... | 2004 | 14972035 |
| sporangium discharge in pilobolus: a photographic study. | stages in the discharge of sporangia by the fungus, pilobolus kleinii, were photographed by means of a high-speed electronic flash triggered by a photocell. the photographs confirm that the sporangium is propelled by a jet of cell sap. the jet is deflected from the sporangium and attains a considerable length before it breaks into droplets. | 1964 | 17777060 |
