Abstract
Strongyloides venezuelensis has been used as a model for studying human strongyloidosis. 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. At the end of the experiment, the percentage reductions of Strongyloides venezuelensi L3 were: 93% (AC001), 77.2% (I-31) and 65.2% (SF53). The nematophagous fungi were able to capture and destroy the L3 in vitro and can be used as biological controllers of Strongyloides venezuelensi.

Strongyloides venezuelensis has been used as a model for studying human strongyloidosis
Comparando a captura e destruição de L3 de Strongyloides venezuelensis nas placas de Petri dos grupos tratados com os isolados AC001, I-31 e SF53, durante sete dias a cada 24h foi observado que não houve diferença (p > 0,05), conforme descrito na Tabela 1
Diferença (p < 0,05) foi observada entre as médias de L3 de Strongyloides venezuelensis não predadas por campo de 4mm de diâmetro das placas do grupo controle em relação as médias de L3 registradas nas placas dos grupos tratados com fungos durante todo o experimento
Summary
Strongyloides venezuelensis has been used as a model for studying human strongyloidosis. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar a capacidade predatória in vitro, dos fungos das espécies Duddingtonia flagrans, Arthrobotrys robusta e Monacrosporium sinense sobre larvas infectantes de Strongyloides venezuelensis.
