Maximum growth of<jats:italic>P. lilacinus<\/jats:italic>was obtained in corn-meal agar compared to any other media types. The preferred medium for growth of<jats:italic>V. chlamydosporium<\/jats:italic>was corn-meal agar, followed by potato-dextrose agar. After initial growth for 16\u00a0h of incubation, no growth was observed in water agar for both the fungi. Six different temperatures \u2013 4\u00b0C, 10\u00b0C, 18\u00b0C, 26\u00b0C, 34\u00b0C and 40\u00b0C \u2013 were used to observe growth profiles of the fungi in corn-meal agar medium. While no and very little growth of<jats:italic>P. lilacinus<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>V. chlamydosporium<\/jats:italic>was observed at 4\u00b0C and 10\u00b0C, respectively, growth profiles of both the fungi were optimal at 26\u201340\u00b0C. A range of pH (pH 4\u20138) supported growth of both<jats:italic>P. lilacinus<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>V. chlamydosporium<\/jats:italic>. Full-grown plates of the fungi baited with viable eggs of<jats:italic>F. gigantica<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>G. explanatum<\/jats:italic>revealed that<jats:italic>V. chlamydosporium<\/jats:italic>was more vigorous in its egg-parasitic ability compared to<jats:italic>P. lilacinus<\/jats:italic>. Distortion of the eggs started on day 2\u20133 of egg baiting in culture plates of<jats:italic>V. chlamydosporium<\/jats:italic>, with complete distortion by day 7. On the contrary,<jats:italic>P. lilacinus<\/jats:italic>exhibited very limited egg-parasitic ability and some of the baited eggs even showed development of miracidia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x08982602","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,5,8]],"date-time":"2008-05-08T06:37:45Z","timestamp":1210228665000},"page":"271-277","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Screening for Indian isolates of egg-parasitic fungi for use in biological control of fascioliasis and amphistomiasis in ruminant livestock"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"82","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"De","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.K.","family":"Sanyal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.K.","family":"Sarkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N.K.","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Pal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.C.","family":"Mandal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X08982602_ref6","first-page":"139","article-title":"Penetration of ovicidal fungi into altered eggs of Ascaris lumbricoides","volume":"26","author":"Lysek","year":"1979","journal-title":"Folia Parasitologica"},{"key":"S0022149X08982602_ref12","first-page":"13","article-title":"Control of tropical fasciolosis in cattle and buffaloes in India at the backdrop of its integrated management","volume":"15","author":"Sanyal","year":"2001","journal-title":"Journal of Veterinary Parasitology"},{"key":"S0022149X08982602_ref10","first-page":"13","article-title":"Selection of nematode-trapping fungi for use in biological control.
