%X introduction: strongyloides venezuelensis has been used as a model for studying human strongyloidosis. methods: this study aimed to compare the ability of predatory nematophagous fungi duddingtonia flagrans (ac001), arthrobotrys robusta (i-31) and monacrosporium sinense (sf53) and on infective larvae (l3) of strongyloides venezuelensis in laboratory conditions on 2% water-agar medium. results: at the end of the experiment, the percentage reductions of strongyloides venezuelensi l3 were: 93% (ac001), 77.2% (i-31) and 65.2% (sf53). conclusions: the nematophagous fungi were able to capture and destroy the l3 in vitro and can be used as biological controllers of strongyloides venezuelensi.
