Recent Advances in the Control of Helminths of Domestic Animals by Helminthophagous Fungi

This review describes the advances acquired and proven in use of helminthophagous fungi control gastrointestinal helminth parasites domestic animals. Old well-known premises about parasitic epidemiology factors that can interfere with best performance biological are mentioned. Some most promising Duddingtonia flagrans from predatory group Pochonia chamydosporia Mucor circinelloides ovicidal group. These produce resistance spores called chlamidospores. Bioverm® BioWorma®, based on fungus D. flagrans, available as commercial. Biotechnological products such nanoparticles obtaining primary secondary metabolites have already been obtained these fungi. Because they different mechanisms action, fungi, when used together, present a complementary synergistic action helminths. Therefore, future research search for new formulations, association groups, extraction molecules, helminths various animals desired.
