Abstract
This study focused on controlling a fungal infestation in the zoological collection at the Departmental Museum of Natural Sciences in Cali. This infestation was caused by inadequate conservation facilities for specimens and the absence of a quarantine zone. Sixty-eight infected specimens and eight environmental samples were collected in order to characterise and purify the predominant morphotypes. Ten of these samples showed growth in the laboratory, enabling the isolation of 17 colonies, which were then grouped into 15 morphotypes. Three of these morphotypes — identified as Peniophora albobadia, Aspergillus sydowii and Penicillium commune — were selected for sensitivity testing. Five commercial disinfectants (Timsen 2125M P40®, Simple Green D Pro 5®, Divosan Forte VT6, KlaxinnTabs DETCLORK 500 and Pentamon) were evaluated at four concentrations (0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8%) in duplicate. Although KlaxinnTabs DETCLORK 500 at 0.8% showed the best in vitro performance, it was impractical to use; therefore, Simple Green D Pro 5® was chosen. This reduced the environmental microbial load by 40% and decreased the number of positive surface samples from 6 to 2. These results suggest promising potential for controlling the infestation. This could be further improved by employing a spray application of KlaxinnTabs DETCLORK 500 and implementing a quarantine zone for infected specimens.
