The objective of this paper is to explore the function of the AOL-s00215g415 (Aog415) gene, which encodes for the synthesis of siderophore in the nematode trapping fungal model strain A. oligospora, in order to understand the relationship between siderophore biosynthesis and nematode trapping activity. After a through sequence analysis, it was determined that Aog415 is a siderophore-synthesizing NRPS. The product of this gene was then identified to be the hydroxamate siderophore desferriferrichrome, using mass spectrometry analysis. When compared to the WT strains, the Aog415 knockout strain exhibited a 60% decrease in siderophore content in fermentation broth. Additionally, the number of predatory rings of decreased by 23.21%, while the spore yield increased by 37.34%. The deletion of Aog415 did not affect the growth of A. oligospora in diverse nutrient medium. Lipid metabolism-related pathways were the primary targets of Aog415 disruption as revealed by the metabolomic analysis. In comparison to the WT, a significant reduction in the levels of glycerophospholipids, and glycolipids was observed in the mutation. The metabolic alteration in fatty acyls and amino acid-like molecules were significantly disrupted. The knockout of Aog415 impaired the biosynthesis of the hydroxamate siderophore desferriferrichrome, remodeled the flow of fatty acid in A. oligospora, and mainly reprogrammed the membrane lipid metabolism in cells. Desferriferrichrome, a hydroxamate siderophore affects the growth, metabolism and nematode trapping ability of A. oligospora by regulating iron intake and cell membrane homeostasis. Our study uncovered the significant contribution of siderophores to the growth and nematode trapping ability and constructed the relationship among siderophores biosynthesis, lipid metabolism and nematode trapping activity of A. oligospora, which provides a new insight for the development of nematode biocontrol agents based on nematode trapping fungi.

The prevalence of respiratory nematodes in domestic animals has increased in Europe in recent decades. is the most common parasitic nematode of the respiratory tract in felids, and an increase in its prevalence has been suggested in different European countries including Spain, with values ranging from 0% to 30%. The Baermann technique was used to detect metastrongyloid larvae in 93 faecal samples from cats living in colonies (n = 29), cats living in shelters (n = 30), and owned cats (n = 34).

Article Synopsis
- Dirofilariosis is a parasite disease caused by Dirofilaria species, mainly affecting wild carnivores and raising concerns about animal health and potential transmission to domestic dogs and humans.
- In a study in Croatia, researchers examined wild carnivores, finding D. immitis in 6.5% of golden jackals, but none in red foxes or European badgers.
- Infected jackals showed varying parasite loads and possible health impacts, highlighting the need for further research on their role as potential infection reservoirs for other species.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a carnivorous fungus that captures nematodes by forming constricting rings, a key feature for its carnivorous behavior.
- Researchers created two mutants unable to form these rings and examined their growth compared to the wild-type strain, revealing differences in metabolic pathways.
- Key findings highlight the importance of cell wall structure, peroxisomes, lipid metabolism, and MAPK signaling in the formation of constricting rings, which could inform future methods of controlling harmful nematodes.

Article Synopsis
- G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest group of cell surface receptors in eukaryotes and are essential for fungi to detect important signals for survival and interactions with other species.* -
- Fungi lack receptor kinases found in plants and instead rely on GPCRs to activate pathways like cAMP and mitogen-activated protein kinase via G proteins, aiding in nutrient detection and pheromone recognition for growth and reproduction.* -
- Although research on fungal GPCRs is still developing, particularly in pathogens, some GPCRs have been identified that help fungi sense signals from their hosts, contributing to our understanding of fungal biology.*

Background: Entomological data for onchocerciasis surveillance relies on sampling black flies through human landing collectors in the field and laboratory testing of the flies for infection using pooled screening O-150 PCR-ELISA assay. Both techniques require improvements. This study aimed to optimize the Esperanza Window Trap (EWT) for black fly collection.
