• During the infection of nematodes, the nematophagous fungi penetrate the surface (Cuticle) of the nematode and digest the internal tissues of the host. The nematode cuticle is composed of proteins including collagen. Proteolytic enzymes produced from the fungus have an important role during the penetration. These fungi parasitize vermiform adult or larval nematodes and parasitize eggs or cyst.
