Anguillula aceti

The trichothecenes are a group of of sesquiterpenes that have attracted attention because of their involvement in toxicoses of farm animals and humans. They are produced by several fungi, eg Fusarium, Myrothecium, Trichothecium, that are parasitic on cereals. Trichothecin (100 jig/ml) decreased the motility of Anguillula aceti [142]. Verrucarin A and T-2 toxin (2 ppm) reduced the viability of M. javanica, and T-2 toxin (0.2, 2 ppm) was toxic to M. hapla and Pratylenchus neglectus [233], Given the toxicity of these compounds to plants and animals, they do not appear to be candidates as useful nematocides. 

The enniatins are a group of cyclodepsipeptides produced by Fusarium spp [206]. They are produced by a non-ribosomal mechanism and their biosynthesis is regulated by the amino acids of the metabolic pool [354], Enniatin A (220) (5 pg/ml) showed nematocidal activity towards N. brasiliensis, Trichinella spiralia and Heterakis spumosa, and other enniatins were active at 1-100 (ig/ml [355]. Enniatin B (221) (100 (ig/ml) was toxic towards Anguillula aceti [142] and M. javanica (LD43 20 ppm) [233].
