Background: Skin mycoses also called dermatophytosis is the most common fungal infection affects 20-25% of World population. Its prevalence varies place to with climatic changes, time age, sex and lifestyle Dermatophytoses could be caused by dermatophytes non-dermatophytes, their frequency isolation differs geographical variation.
 Objectives: To study various clinical presentations skin m...

Children are more susceptible to fungal infections. Hair infection by agents, also called trichomycoses, is one of the common concerns in human beings. Dermatophytes, Malassezia species and organisms causing piedra mycological agents hair Tinea Capitis (TC) an scalp shaft surrounding caused dermatophytes. Aim: To study clinical patterns tinea capitis rural children. Materials Methods: This a cr...

Dermatophytes are filamentous fungi that affect both human and animal skin, hair, nails. There is a public health issue with it. In order to ascertain the effects of methanolic extracts Buccholzia coriacea on isolates sensitivity level common antifungal drugs, this study was developed explore prevalence from clinical cases in horses. Samples were initially cultivated Sabouraud dextrose agar, th...

Dermatophytes fungi are causative agents of dermatophytosis. Surface skin called dermatophytes after the anatomical localization lesions. A total 164 specimens were collected from patients with dermatophytosis (ring worm) distributed into 89/164(54.26%) male and 75/164(45.73%) female. The DTM culture medium was prepared by adding 0.2g phenol red dye to 1 litter PDA medium, utilized short oligon...

background and objectives: dermatophytes possess a wide array of virulence factors and various antifungal susceptibility patterns which influence their pathogenesis in humans and animals. the aim of this study was to evaluate antifungal suscep- tibility and keratinase and proteinase activity of 49 dermatophyte strains from the genera microsporum , trichophyton and epidermophyton which were isol...

The Van cat is a domestic landrace found in the Van province of eastern Turkey. In this study, we aimed to determine the seasonal carriage of dermatophytes in Van cats without clinical lesions. A total of 264 hair specimens were collected from clinically healthy cats in and around the Van Province. Of these samples, 30.3% were obtained in spring, 30.6% in summer, 16.6% in autumn, and 22.3% in w...

24 A rapid two step DNA extraction method and a multiplex PCR for the detection of 25 dermatophytes in general and Trichophyton (T.) rubrum specifically were developed and 26 evaluated on DNA extracted from pure cultures and from clinically diseased nails. DNA 27 from the following dermatophytes were used: Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum 28 (M.) audouinii, M. canis, M. gypseum, M. nanum, ...
