Plates (3.5 cm diameter) containing corn meal agar (CMA) were divided in two groups (treatment and control). Plate's in-group A was seeded with a 1cm ×1 cm thick plug from a culture of A. robusta. The ages of the A. robusta culture at the time of the transfer was 7. Plates in group B contained just CMA, without fungus, and plates were used to show the movement of the larvae on the plates. Then 40 microliter of an aqueous suspension, containing approximately 500 larvae, were deposited on each of plates and the plates were incubated at 25 °C for 14 days. In this in vitro trial, the trapping ability of Arthrobotrys robusta against lungworm larvae on CMA plates was evaluated. Results indicated that A. robusta in comparing with control group could decrease number of lungworm larvae (33.95%) significantly (p0.001).
