This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the experimental formulation containing chlamydospores of and fungi, against . Two experiments were carried out. The first experiment evaluated the in vitro efficacy using 1 g of the experimental formulation (V1) added to 100 eggs and the control (V2) (without the fungal formulation).

Introduction: Strongyloides venezuelensis has been used as a model for studying human strongyloidosis.

Methods: This study aimed to compare the ability of predatory nematophagous fungi Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001), Arthrobotrys robusta (I-31) and Monacrosporium sinense (SF53) and on infective larvae (L3) of Strongyloides venezuelensis in laboratory conditions on 2% water-agar medium.

Results: At the end of the experiment, the percentage reductions of Strongyloides venezuelensi L3 were: 93% (AC001), 77.

Introduction: Ancylostoma sp is a potentially zoonotic geohelminth.

Methods: This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the action of crude enzyme extract of Pochonia chlamydosporia (VC4) on eggs of Ancylostoma sp in 2% water-agar and in fecal cultures.

Results: The percentage reduction in Ancylostoma sp egg eclosion was 76.

Introduction: Strongyloides stercoralis is a nematode that infects much of the population worldwide.

Methods: This study aimed to compare the ability of predatory nematophagous fungi Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001), Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34) and Arthrobotrys robusta (I-31) on infective larvae (L₃) of Strongyloides stercoralis in laboratory conditions on 2% water-agar.

Results: At the end of the experiment, the percentage reductions in Strongyloides stercoralis L3 were 83.

Introduction: Toxocara canis is an ascarid parasite of the small intestine of dogs that causes visceral larva migrans in humans.

Methods: With the aim of demonstrating the effectiveness of the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia on Toxocara canis eggs under laboratory conditions, a trial was set up in Petri dishes with 2% agar-water.

Results: There was ovicidal activity of 43.

The present study was performed in order to evaluate the action of anthelmintics compounds on gastrointestinal parasite nematodes of 27 Alpine and Saanen adult goats. The animals were divided into three groups. The animals of groups 1 and 2 had been dealt with two different associations of antihelminthics in day zero.
