Abstract: The in vitro effect of silver nanoparticles of the Duddingtonia flagrans filtrate enriched with chitin was evaluated on infective larvae of cyathostomins (L <subscript>3</subscript> ). After biosynthesis, an assay was carried out with two experimental groups in microtubes, for a period of 24 h: G1 (AgNP's-D. flagrans (43.4 μg/mL) + 120 L <subscript>3</subscript> ) and G2 (distilled water + 120 L <subscript>3</subscript> ). At the end of this period, AgNP's-D. flagrans (G1) demonstrated an effect on L <subscript>3</subscript> with a 43% reduction (p < 0.01) in relation to G2. Thus, the authors suggest new designs with AgNP's-D. flagrans for the control of cyathostomins.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
