In vitro activity of Lasioseius penicilliger (Arachnida: Mesostigmata) against three nematode species: Teladorsagia circumcincta, Meloidogyne sp. and Caenorhabditis elegans. Veterinaria México OA. 2015;2(1). doi: 10.21753/vmoa.2.1.340.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the predatory behavior in vitro of the mite Lasioseius penicilliger on 3 nematode species: Teladorsagia circumcincta (L3) (a sheep-parasitic nematode), Meloidogyne sp. (J2) (a plant-parasitic nematode), and on various developmental stages of Caenorhabditis elegans (a free-living nematode). The confrontation between mites and nematodes was individually assessed in 2% water agar placed in plastic Petri dishes (2 cm x 1 cm diameter). One thousand nematodes of a species and 5 mites were placed into each plate (10 replicates) and incubated for 5 days at room temperature (18-25ºC). L. penicilliger showed voracious feeding activity against the 3 assessed nematode species. The percentages of predatory activity recorded were 95.1, 80.5 and 79.3 against Meloidogyne sp., C. elegans, and T. circumcincta, respectively (P ≤ 0.05). These results suggest that L. penicilliger has important potential as a biological control agent of parasitic nematodes.
