Abstract
Fasciolosis is a worm disease caused of Fa sciola gigantica and an important problem in husbandry especially for cattle. Controlling of this worm disease can be conducted by prevention and treatment. The use of antihelminthic is commonly causes a resistance problem. Natural control by mold such as Paecilomyces lilacinus and Verticillium chlamydosporium can be applied to reduce egg of F . gigantica . Although it was recently found, in vitro study gave satisfied result. This gives a new hope in controlling the disease although the extend application still needs to be studied. This paper discussed about the use of P. lilacinus and V. chlamydosporium for reducing F. gigantica population. K e y words: Natural control, F . gigantica, P. lilacinus, V. chlamydosporium

Summary
Fasciolosis merupakan penyakit cacingan yang disebabkan oleh Fasciola gigantica dan masalah yang penting di dalam peternakan khususnya sapi potong. Pemakaian antihelmintik yang sudah umum dilakukan menimbulkan masalah resistensi. Pengendalian penyakit cacing hati ini dapat dilakukan dengan pencegahan dan pengobatan. Pengendalian dengan agen hayati merupakan salah satu pilihan. Pemanfaatan cendawan Paecilomyces lilacinus dan Verticillium chlamydosporium dapat digunakan untuk mengurangi populasi F. gigantica pada stadium telur. Meski hal ini masih tergolong penemuan baru namun melalui uji in vitro memberikan hasil yang cukup memuaskan. Hal ini akan memberikan harapan baru dalam pengendalian penyakit ini, walaupun di dalam aplikasi lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan kajian lebih mendalam. Tulisan ini mendiskusikan kemungkinan pemanfaatan P. lilacinus dan V. chlamydosporium untuk mengurangi populasi F. gigantica
