Abstract
The effect of Aphodius fossor, A. luridus and A. foetidus adults on Dictyocaulus viviparus larvae in cattle faeces was investigated. In chambers containing A. fossor and A. luridus, a significant decrease (at 5% level) in the median number of D. viviparus larvae occurred after 90 h at a density of one beetle per g of faeces. The possibility of using dung beetles as biocontrol agents for D. viviparus is discussed.
