Description
Summary:•Plackett–Burman design was used to assess the destructive significance of enzymes.•We used Duddingtonia flagrans and Pochonia chlamydosporia proteases and chitinases.•All tested enzymes had a significant effect on the destruction of Strongyloides westeri larvae.•VC4 and AC001 proteases had a significant effect on trichostrongylides larvae.•Chitinases of VC4 showed the highest significance on Platynosomum fastosum eggs destruction. The present work used Plackett–Burman experimental design to assess the influence of enzymes of nematophagous fungi versus Strongyloides westeri and trichostrongylides larvae and Platynosomum fastosum eggs. The variables studied in the Plackett–Burman design were the proteases and chitinases of AC001 or VC4 as destructive agents of S. westeri and trichostrongylides larvae, and P. fastosum eggs. All tested enzymes had a significant effect (P
