Abstract: Endoparasitic fungi are a group of nematophagous fungi which produce a variety of special spores to infect free nematodes. They play a key role in maintaining the population density of nematodes in the natural systems. Moreover, they are important materials for the study of species diversity. Therefore, they have special research significance and economic values. At present, many studies mainly focus on the infectivity of trapping fungi to nematodes, and mainly directed at the second instars larvae. However, the endoparasitic fungi have infectivity to nematodes at all stages. Here, we reviewed the resource status, diversity of spore morphology, infection modes, life history and host of endoparasitic fungi, and the biocontrol fungi with development potential and their commercialized application. Finally, we proposed some suggestions for future researches.
