Abstract

Nematophagous fungi are microfungi that can capture, kill and digest nematodes. They use special mycelial structures, the so-called traps, or spores to trap vermiform nematodes or hyphal tips to attack nematode eggs and cysts before penetration of the nematode cuticle, invasion and digestion.
