    Angiostrongylus vasorum is a nematode that parasitizes molluscs, dogs, and even man. The objective was to evaluate the predatory activity of the conidia of two fungal isolates of Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001 and CG722) on first-stage larvae (L1) of A. vasorum in laboratory conditions. At the end of the experiment, there were significant reductions (p<0.01) of 74.5% and 63.2%, on average, in the A. vasorum L1 recovered in the AC001 and CG722 treatment conditions, respectively. The two isolates of fungi were efficient in the capture and destruction of A. vasorum L1
