Abstract

Abstract: Fascioliasis is a disease of livestock which is now
recognized as an emerging disease in humans. Cantharellus
cibarius and Ganoderma applanatum are known for their
medicinal properties. The use of ethanolic extracts of these
macrofungi against the eggs and miracidia of Fasciola spp.
is a promising method to break the parasite transmission
cycle. The aim of the study is to evaluate the inhibitory
effects of ethanolic extracts of the mushrooms on eggs and
miracidia of Fasciola spp. Concentrated eggs and miracidia
of Fasciola spp. were exposed to different concentrations
(1-8 mg/ml) of extracts of Ganoderma applanatum (GEE) and
Cantharellus cibarius (CEE) at different time intervals. GEE
showed superior antiparasitic activities when compared
to CEE at all concentrations tested. Significant positive
correlations were observed between the concentration of
GEE and mortality in miracidia (r=0.980, P <0> and mortality in miracidia (r= 0.968, P <0> showed that ethanolic extracts of G. applanatum and C.
cibarius have ovicidal and miracicidal activities. While
G. applanatum showed excellent activities, activities in
C. cibarius were moderate. Therefore, these mushroom
extracts can be regarded as promising sources of bioactive
compounds that could be developed into ovicides and
miracicides.
