conclusions species identification of trichophyton is crucially important for epidemiological and phylogenetic purposes and for genotype delineation. rca based on its polymorphisms can be used to generate identification barcodes and as an alternative to dna sequencing; it is a very fast, specific, and economical tool for species identification. results of the 61 putative trichophyton clinical i...

Reports about ringworm in donkeys are scanty and refer to zoonotic agents such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton verrucosum. Seventeen Asino Amiatina donkeys semi-extensively farmed in paddocks showed alopecic nummular, scaling areas mainly on head and neck. Microsporum racemosum cultivated from the lesions was identified by morphology and PCR. Affected animals healed spontaneousl...

BACKGROUND To develop a new green approach for biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles, myconanotechnology has been represented as a novel field of study in nanotechnology. In this study, we have reported the extracellular synthesis of highly stable silver nanoparticles using three species of dermatophytes: Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis. METHODS Clinical ...

since most of the studies on chemical compounds of dermatophytes have shown the existence of a relationship between their pathogenisity and proteolytec enzymes. activities of 19 different enzymes in viable mycelia and cytoplasmic extracts of t.rubrum (cetr), t.mentagrophytes (cetm) and t.verrucosum (cetv) were investigated by the api-zym system. the results showed that viable mycelia of t.rubrm...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of tinea capitis, tinea pedis, and tinea unguium in children from several schools of Barcelona city. METHODS During the period of 2003-2004, a prospective cross-sectional study was carried out in 1,305 children (9% immigrant population) between the ages 3 and 15 in 17 schools in Barcelona. A systematic examination of the feet, (including nails and scalp), ...
