| dermatophytes in a population of bank voles and woodmice. | a population of bank voles (clethrionomys glareolus) and wood mice (apodemus sylvaticus) inhabiting an oak wood in somerset was examined for dermatophytes at monthly intervals for 2 years. the marked animals were frequently retrapped, allowing a study of host fungus relationship over a period of time. microsporum persicolor (sabouraud) guiart er grigorakis and trichophyton mentagrophytes (robin) blanchard were isolated from both animal species, but m. persicolor predominated in bank voles and t. ... | 1978 | 375097 |
| [microsporum persicolor, an easily misinterpreted dermatophyt]. | trichophyton persicolor was described by sabouraud in 1910, and was mistaken by most mycologists for trichophyton mentagrophytes. recently the infection in wild rodents was discovered and the independence of this fungus proved by its perfect form (nannizzia persicolor) which is called at the present time microsporum persicolor. | 1978 | 564336 |
| human infections with microsporum persicolor in denmark. | the geographical and ecological spread of microsporum persicolor is reviewed. it is concluded that m. persicolor is a zoophilic dermatophyte prevalent mainly in europe and seldom reported as the cause of human infection. twelve danish cases of m. persicolor infection are described--their clinical features, mycological findings, and treatment. the localization of these fungal infections is reviewed on the basis of the present material and 58 cases from the literature. | 1978 | 708626 |
| on the occurrence of microsporum persicolor in montreal, canada. | a case of microsporum persicolor skin infection in a casual employee of a veterinary clinic in montreal, quebec, canada, is reported. a survey of 80 wild rodents in the montreal area resulted in the isolation of m. persicolor from two voles (clethrionomys gapperi) and one deer mouse (peromyscus maniculatus). one of the voles, heavily infested with parasites including ticks, had obvious lesions on the nose. this is the first report of m. persicolor in rodents in north america. | 1978 | 714147 |
