Description
Maria Larissa Bitencourt Vidal and seven co-authors test two fungi against gut worms in cattle in this 2025 paper. These nematodes drain livestock health, while drug resistance keeps rising. The fungi attack the worms at split life stages: one eats larvae, and the other kills eggs. Eighteen young crossbred males were split into three groups for a nine month field trial. One group got the larva eating fungus alone, one got both fungi daily by mouth, and one served as control.
Egg counts in feces ran lower in both treated groups than in controls across most of the trial. The combined treatment worked best, which the authors credit to the two attack modes complementing each other. The trial is the first long term field test of this pairing in cattle under natural infection. The authors offer fungal control as a sustainable partner to chemical dewormers.
