| isozyme variation within and among populations of microsporum species. | isozyme variation among 54 isolates of microsporum canis, 18 microsporum cookei isolates and two diheterospora isolates were studied using starch gel electrophoresis. of eight enzymes examined, four were polymorphic (est, g6p, mdh and pep), having from two to four electrophoretic forms. within each species, consistent and reproducible isozyme patterns of the eight enzyme systems were obtained. phenotypic diversity (h) in m. canis was higher than in m. cookei (h = 0.459 and h = 0.408 respectively ... | 1998 | 9919894 |
| isozyme variation of microsporum canis and m. cookei from new zealand. | fifty-four isolates of microsporum canis (arthroderma otae) from humans, cats and dogs obtained from auckland, palmerston north and wellington, new zealand and 18 m. cookei and two diheterospori spp. from soils were examined for variation using eight isozyme loci. m. canis isolates were from infected and non-infected cases. isozyme analysis separated the three species which were further subdivided into electrophoretic types (ets). clustering analysis using normalized percentage disagreement (ptc ... | 1998 | 10075493 |
| epidemiology of dermatophyte infection in auckland, new zealand. | this report describes the epidemiology of culture-proven dermatophyte infection in auckland, new zealand. the authors undertook a retrospective review of laboratory data for the period from june 1999 to july 2002. there were 10 004 dermatophyte isolates. the most common isolates were trichophyton rubrum (69%) and trichophyton mentagrophytes (19%). microsporum canis was mainly isolated from children. the prevalence of t. mentagrophytes increased with patient age (p < 0.001). trichophyton rubrum w ... | 2003 | 14616492 |
