  The nematodes constitute one of the most phyto-pathogenic species in agriculture, using chemical and biological control agents. The Tsukamurella paurometabola is a bacterial strain with possibilities of being used as a nematicide; thus, it is necessary to evaluate the effect of its administration in lab animals with the objective of estimating its toxicity, infectivity and pathogenicity. To accomplish this aim, it was administered a single dose of 108 ufc/animal with T. paurometabola C-924 in three variants as an active agent, final product (HEBERNEM®) and inactive final product by oral route to Sprague-Dawley rats of both sexes, and their respective placebos. The analyzed variables were: clinical observation, feed and water consumption, body weight, infectivity (tissues, organs and biological fluids), clearing or persistence (faeces collection) and gross and micr..
