“…Artroderma curreyi ( Chrysosporium : anamorph Arthroderma curreyi ), Myceliophthora verllera , and Nannizzia fulva (anamorph: Microsporium gypseum ) were encountered through our study, those species were previously isolated by Katiyar and Kushwaha (2000) and Efuntoye and Fashanu (2001). …”

“…These species were isolated previously, but with different frequency, from students' nails (Abdel-Hafez and El-Sharouny 1990), cloven-hooves and horns of goats and sheep (Abdel-Hafez et al, 1990) and from domestic birds nails (Efountoye and Fashanu, 2001). …”

“…The soil plate technique (Bagy et al, 1997; Efuntoye and Fashanu, 2001) was employed to estimate the diversity of keratinophilic fungi. Each sample (10 hair fragments or nails) scattered separately on surface of about 40 gm sterile Petri-dishes and the dust moistened with sterilized water (25~30 moisture content) and remoistened when ever necessary.…”

Diversity of Keratinophilic Fungi on Human Hairs and Nails at Four Governorates in Upper Egypt

et al. 2006

The mycobiota of 160 hair and nail samples collected from 4 different governorates in upper Egypt were estimated using soil plate method for isolating keratinophilic and dermatophytic fungi. Twenty-three fungi were recorded on both hair and nail samples collected from the four governorates. Highest fungal diversity (20) was collected from Red Sea samples followed by Qena (18) and Aswan (17) while lowest fungal diversity was recorded from Sohage samples. The common genera were Aphanoascus, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Paecilomyces and Chrysosporium. The most prevalent species belonging to these genera were: A. fulvescens, Aphanoascus sp. A. flavus link, A. flavus var. columnaris, P. chrysogenium. P. lilacinus and C. sulfureum. True dermatophytes such as Nannizzia fulva appeared in 20~30% of the male samples.

“…It was the most present species both in Anas platyrhynchos and in Phasianus colchicus , and has been cited in the checklist by Hubalek [ 6 ] to be cultured in conidial form or in the teleomorphic status ( Aphanoascus keratinophilum ) from these species, along with isolates from Pica pica . This fungal species was the more frequent Chrysosporium recovered from birds in Nigeria [ 25 ] and in Bahrain [ 11 ]. On the other hand, the composition of superficial oils and fats is reported to frequently affect the fungal growth, but Ch.…”

Although keratinophilic fungi on avian feathers have been widely described, data from European literature are quite lacking regarding Mediterranean countries. The aim of the present study was therefore to evaluate the occurrence of fungal species on feathers of different avian species in Italy. A total of 378 feather samples from both aquatic (n = 254) and terrestrial birds (n = 124), for a total of 30 bird species, were cultured for keratinophilic fungi. Fungal isolates were recognized by their macro- and micro-scopical morphology, and results were corroborated by PCR and sequencing. Keratinophilic fungi belonging to 11 different species (Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, Chrysosporium keratinophilum, Trichophyton terrestre, Microsporum gypseum, Sepedonium sp., Chrysosporium pannorum, Myriodontium sp., Chrysosporium tropicum, Chrysosporium pruinosum, Chrysosporium luteum and Aphanoascus fulvescens) were isolated from 71 animals (18.8%). The frequency of isolation of keratinophilic species from terrestrial birds was significantly higher in waterfowl. Migratory birds in Italy have been proven to carry pathogenic fungi such as dermatophytes, (A. platyrhyncos, A. crecca, E. rubecula), besides saprophytic species.

“…In Nigeria, reports on the prevalence of dermatophytosis in domestic animals and cattle, in particular, are scanty [7]. Earlier studies on dermatophytoses of domesticated animals in different parts of the country in Ibadan, Oyo State [8], in Zaria, Kaduna State [9], in Oyo State [10] and a more recent report from Nsuka, Enugu State [11], did not cover cattle. In the study conducted in Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, Abia, Imo, Kogi and Delta States of Nigeria [12], only 55 out of a total of 538 animals in that study were cattle.…”

Background and Aim:Dermatophytosis is an infection of the superficial, keratinized structures of the skin, nails, and hair of man and animals caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes in the genera Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton. The prevalence of dermatophytosis among cattle in Nigeria and Plateau State, in particular, is yet to be fully determined. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and the distribution of dermatophytosis lesions on cattle in Plateau State, Nigeria.Materials and Methods:Four hundred and thirty-seven cattle showing visible skin lesions suggestive of dermatophytosis were drawn from nine local government areas (three each) from the three senatorial districts of Plateau State, Nigeria. Skin scrapings were aseptically collected using a cross-sectional study, in which sampling units were selected using purposive sampling method. Samples were processed for both direct microscopic examination and isolation of dermatophytes in culture. The isolates were stained with lactophenol cotton blue and identified microscopically based on the size, shape, and arrangement of macro- and micro-conidia. The dermatophytes were further identified by determining the sequences of the internal transcribed spacer regions of their ribosomal DNA. Data were analyzed and presented as percentages, bar graph, and Chi-square test of association. p≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results:The overall prevalence rate of bovine dermatophytosis in Plateau State was found to be 11.0%. Trichophyton verrucosum was more frequently isolated (54.2%) than Trichophyton mentagrophytes (45.8%). Age, breed, management practice, and season were significantly associated with the occurrence of the disease (p<0.05).Conclusion:Dermatophytosis among cattle may be of public health significance in Plateau State, Nigeria. This is the first report on the prevalence and distribution of dermatophytosis lesions on cattle from Plateau State, Nigeria.
