This work was performed to determine the predatory capacity in vitro of the nematophagous fungus Duddingtonia flagrans (isolate AC001) on cyathostomin infective larvae of horse (L(3)). ... The interaction there was a significant reduction (p < 0.01) of 93.64% in the cyathostomin l(3) recovered. the results showed that the d. flagrans is a potential candidate to the biological control of horse cyathostomin l(3)."
