Nematophagous fungi as biological control agents of parasitic nematodes in soils of wildlife parks

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: showed good efficacy on both media, while the other two fungi showed more marked differences on the two media. The results showed that these three nematophagous fungi can reduce parasites in soil before they are ingested by an infected animal. Given the increasing development of drug resistance and the use of chemical agents for soil treatment, this is an important finding that should be pursued in the future.
