متن کاملDermatophytosis, Microsporum canis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum gypseum
Overview: The fungal skin disease dermatophytosis has come to be called ringworm because of the appearance of the skin lesion that characteristically occurs with this disorder: a circular area of hair loss with a red, raised outer rim. These lesions result from an inflammatory reaction to the fungus. Most often, dogs and cats are infected by the Microsporum canis fungus, but other types of fung...
متن کاملInfection by Microsporum canis in Paediatric Patients: A Veterinary Perspective
Microsporum canis is a dermatophyte fungus of which cats and dogs are recognized as the natural hosts. M. canis is also easily transmitted to humans, causing lesions to the glabrous skin (tinea corporis) and to the head (tinea capitis). The present study describes some cases of infection with M. canis in children from a veterinary perspective, highlighting some important features of this clinic...
متن کاملCarbohydrate metabolism in Microsporum canis.
Enzyme systems concerned in the breakdown of carbohydrates by dennatophytes have been little studied, the principal contribution being a study of a number of enzymes of the glycolytic and hexosemonophosphate pathways and of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in cell-free extracts of Trichophyton mentagrophytes (Jensen, Altschuller & Bard, 1957). The effect of different substrates and pH values on the...
متن کاملRNA silencing in the dermatophyte Microsporum canis.
Dermatomycoses caused by Microsporum canis are frequent in domestic animals and easily transmissible to humans. Several proteases secreted by this fungus were identified as potential virulence factors, but the construction of deficient strains is required to investigate their role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Using target genes encoding two of these proteases, a first evaluation of the u...
