[Predacious nematode-destroying fungi].
Gastrointestinal nematodes are considered a serious economic problem affecting the livestock industry around the world. Current methods of their control, relaying mainly on organic drugs, are not sustainable because parasites develop resistance to anthelmintic and bacause of increasing public concern about chemicals residues in livestock products and environment. Nematode-trapping fungi offer a very promissing, nonchemotherapeutic approach to nematode parasite control. Their potential in preventing nematodosis is well documented. In this paper we outline the present knowlege on mechanisms involved in trapping and killing nematodes by the predacious nematode-destroying fungi.
