Dynamic proteomic changes and ultrastructural insights into Pochonia chlamydosporia’s parasitism of Parascaris equorum eggs
mycolabadmin
Scientists studied how a special fungus called Pochonia chlamydosporia attacks and destroys parasitic worm eggs. Using advanced microscopy and protein analysis, they tracked the fungus through three stages of infection and identified the specific proteins and processes it uses to break down the worm eggs. This research helps us understand how this fungus works so it can be better used as a natural pest control method to protect animals from harmful parasites.
