Abstract
It is necessary to screen more potential candidates from the local isolates of nematophagous fungi and to investigate interaction between the fungal strains and the nematodes for the biological control of parasitic nematodes in livestocks. In the present study, The present study was divided into two phases. In the first phase, it was to bewe assessed that the in vitro predatory activity and the viability of isolates of Arthrobotrys thaumasia (Monacrosporium thaumasium) after passing through the gastrointestinal tract of sheep. , then In the second phase, tthe morphological plasticitypredatory process of a representative isolate selected in the first phase, regardingagainst the larvae of trichostrongylides was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). In the in vitro experiment, nine native isolates of A. thaumasia were able to prey larvae of feces of sheep infected with natural mixed nematodes (Haemonchus contortus, Trichostongylus colubriformis, Marshallagia mongolica), and the decreased percentage...
