utilization of standard laboratory methods in the laboratory diagnosis of problem dermatophytes.	the identification of certain dermatophytes may be simplified by using biochemical tests such as urease, nutritional requirements (with commercially available media), and the in-vitro hair penetration test. no study that combines these tests in a diagnostic scheme for identification of the common dermatophytes has been published. one to 20 isolates each of 29 species of dermatophytes (one epidermophyton floccosum, 10 microsporum species, and 18 trichophyton species) were used. they were grown on ...	1980	7405898

isolation of dermatophytes and correlated species from the soil of public gardens and parks in rome.	looking for dermatophytes and other keratinophilic fungi in the soil of parks and gardens in large towns is very interesting because of the relationship between the number of people living in the area and the presence of such fungi in the soil. as compared with other cities in italy, rome offers prime conditions for this kind of research. it has a high population density (10,000 inhabitants per sq/km2), and many parks and gardens, where it is possible to carry out soil studies. it was noted that ...	1980	7423331
etiology of ringworm of the scalp, beard and body in rome, italy.	from 1972 to 1977 the authors examined 1,311 patients in rome affected by ringworm of the scalp, beard and body, comparing their findings with a study made in milan between 1969 to 1973 and with earlier italian studies from 1900 to date. it appears that at the beginning of the century scalp ringworm was usually caused by trichophyton violaceum and t. tonsurans, whereas microsporum canis was rarely found. today the trichophyton species are rarely isolated, whereas microsporum species, particularl ...	1980	7423332
fungal infections of the scalp in western australia.	between 1963 and 1972, 1,212 fungi were isolated from patients with tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp) in western australia. the clinical diagnosis was confirmed by microscopic examination examination and/or culture of hairs, scale or pus. microsporum canis, a zoophilic fungus, was found to be the most common agent of tinea capitis in western australia, causing 1,100 infections and accounting for 90.8% of the total isolates. the highest incidence of m. canis infections occurred in children be ...	1980	7434132
keratinophilic fungi on four animal groups.	four surveys were conducted on different animal groups in the metropolitan area of perth. microsporum canis was the only fungus isolated from cats and was prevalent in these animals. dermatophyte infections in dogs were less common and were caused by m. canis. m. gypseum and trichophyton mentagrophytes. t. mentagrophytes was isolated from laboratory guinea pigs but not from native animals.	1980	7436952
deoxyribonucleic acid base compositions of dermatophytes.	dna was extracted and purified from 55 dermatophyte isolates representing 34 species of trichophyton, microsporum and epidermophyton. the base compositions of the chromosomal dna were determined by cscl density gradient centrifugation and were found to be in the narrow range of 48.7 to 50.3 mol % g + c. a satellite dna component assumed to be of mitochondrial origin was present in most strains, with a g + c content ranging from 14.7 to 30.8 mol % g + c. heterogeneity in microscopic and colonial ...	1980	7441200
natural focus of microsporosis caused by microsporum canis bodin.	the authors discovered a natural focus of microsporosis caused by the dermatophyte microsporum canis bodin. an adult man and four children were afflicted by this dermatophytosis. symptomatic and inapparent forms of the disease in the focus were also detected in several cats and dogs. homeless cats were found to be the source of the causative agent and its permanent hosts. a chainlike transmission from these cats was triggered to home-kept cats and dogs and to family members of their owners. both ...	1980	7450609

experimental infection of goats and guinea pigs with microsporum canis and trials on treatment with canesten cream and neguvon solution.	goats and guinea pigs were found to be quite susceptible to infection with the bovine strain of microsporum canis. the severe and characteristic annular lesions seen in goats suggested the suitability of this species as a model for future research. the lesions in both goats and guinea pigs are described in details. trials on treatment of the experimentally induced lesions with 1% canesten cream and 6% neguvon solution were attempted. the efficacy of the drugs used were assessed on the basis of c ...	1980	7464898
