ABSTRACT
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), 77.2% (I-31) and 65.2% (SF53).CONCLUSIONS:
The nematophagous fungi were able to capture and destroy the L3 in vitro and can be used as biological controllers of Strongyloides venezuelensi.
