    Abstract:
    The predatory capacity of isolates of nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys robust (I31), Duddingtonia flagrans (CG768) and Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34A) on infective larvae of Ancylostoma spp. was evaluated in laboratorial conditions in experimental assay in medium water-agar 2% (WA 2%). There was significant reduction (p <0.05) of 89.89%, 97.75% and 88.76% in the average of infective larvae of Ancylostoma spp. recovered of medium WA 2% from the treatments with isolated CG768, I31 and NF34A, respectively. The isolated I31 was the most effective in the capture of the infective larvae. The results show that these fungi can be used in the environmental control of the free-living stages of Ancylostoma spp. of dogs.
