Tinea Imbricata (Tokelau) in Bengal

ringworm in 1874, but he considered the fungus to be identical with that of the European ringworm. Manson (1879?82) in China was the first to describe the disease in any detail and he gave it the name tinea imbricata; he considered the fungus a non-cultivable Trichophyton, to which Blanchard gave the name Trichophyton concentricum. Castellani in Ceylon (1910-11) was the first to cultivate the f...

Genetic inheritance of susceptibility to tinea imbricata.

Segregation analysis on 228 family pedigrees collected from a Papua New Guinean population provided data that strongly supported a previous report of an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance of a susceptibility to tinea imbricata. The frequency of the susceptibility gene within the population studied was found to be 0.49 +/- 0.04, calculated on the assumption of an autosomal recessive mode...

Bakua: Tinea Imbricata in the Solomon Islands

Tinea imbricata or tokelau is a chronic superficial mycosis caused by Trichophyton concentricum. The disease is endemic in the Pacific, including on the Solomon Islands, where it is known as bakua. The disease predominantly affects individuals living in poor rural communities with limited access to hygiene. It is estimated that between 10% and 20% of individuals in some Pacific countries are af...

Shuffle of Words and Araucaria Trees

The shuffle of words ,. . . , is the set of words obtained by interleaving the letters of these words such that the order of appearance of all letters of each word is respected. The study of the shuffle product of words leads to the construction of an automaton whose structure is deeply connected to a family of trees which we call araucarias. We prove many structural properties of this family o...
