title: [Ovicidal action of a crude enzymatic extract of fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia against Ancylostoma sp eggs].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  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 76.8% in Petri dishes of the treated group compared to the control group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The crude enzyme extract of Pochonia chlamydosporia was effective at reducing Ancylostoma sp egg eclosion and can be used as biological control of this nematode.
