With the development of anthelmintic resistance of parasitic nematodes, screening the potential of predatory fungi candidates by in vitro and in vivo assay is necessary for biocontrol of parasitic nematodes in sheep. Fifteen native isolates of fungi species of six predators were evaluated through in...
