“…Tinea capitis involving M. gypseum are still rarely reported today. In Morocco, a recent consultation of mycology case registers over a period of 7 years between 2003 and 2009 revealed that M. gypseum is the cause of 0.3% of scalp ringworms [3]. Similarly, a retrospective study carried out over 3 years (2014-2016) at the University Hospital of Casablanca reported a single case out of 70 cases of TCC [4].…”

Historically, tinea capitis has been a problem among the population in general and in Morocco in particular. It is still a significant reason for consultation in routine medical practice, particularly among the population living in poor hygienic conditions. It is an infection almost exclusively of preschool and school-age children, due to changes in sebaceous secretion and skin pH during puberty, affecting both sexes, with a female predominance. Inflammatory cases or Kerion are caused by zoophilic species such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton verrucosum, Microsporum canis, and less frequently by Microsporum gypseum. The identification of the species makes it possible to pinpoint the source of contamination and to condition the prophylaxis. Aware of the rarity of inflammatory tinea capitis caused by M. gypseum, we thought it would be interesting to report a new case diagnosed in the Parasitology-Mycology laboratory of the Avicenne Military Hospital in Marrakech, while focusing on the epidemiological, clinical and mycological characteristics of this dermatophyte through a review of the literature.

Wohlfahrtia magnifica (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) is an obligate myiasis-causing fly of livestock that is widely distributed throughout the Mediterranean basin. A total of 73 683 sheep from 122 flocks in Albacete Province (southeastern [SE] Spain) were examined to detect active traumatic myiasis. The influence of several individual and flock factors on the prevalence was also assessed. The overall flock prevalence of traumatic myiasis was 95.9%, with an individual prevalence of 7.1%. Wohlfahrtia magnifica was identified in all of the positive animals except one that was infested by Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae). Adults of both genders showed a higher risk of infestation than juveniles, whereas males of all ages displayed an increased risk of infestation than females of all ages; the existence of a lambing building on the farm, poor husbandry facilities and the location area were also identified as risk factors. Prevalence was highest in the summer, and the fly season lasted from March to November. Genitalia were the main location of infestation in males (94.4%) and females (76.3%). Our results reveal that traumatic myiasis by W. magnifica is widespread in southeastern Spain, hence preventive measures minimizing the attractiveness of sheep to gravid flies are necessary to avoid health and welfare problems and significant production losses in sheep flocks.
