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 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 کاملA zoonotic ringworm outbreak caused by a dysgonic strain of Microsporum canis from stray cats.
BACKGROUND Cats are frequent carriers of Microsporum canis and veterinary students are at high risk of exposure and acquisition of the organism a la infección. OBJECTIVES An outbreak of zoonotic ringworm carried by a litter of stray cats is described. Four veterinary students, four dogs, and six cats living in five separate locations were affected. All had direct or indirect contact with 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...
متن کاملSecreted metalloprotease gene family of Microsporum canis.
Keratinolytic proteases secreted by dermatophytes are likely to be virulence-related factors. Microsporum canis, the main agent of dermatophytosis in dogs and cats, causes a zoonosis that is frequently reported. Using Aspergillus fumigatus metalloprotease genomic sequence (MEP) as a probe, three genes (MEP1, MEP2, and MEP3) were isolated from an M. canis genomic library. They presented a quite-...
