“…In adults, T. rubrum was even the most common pathogen of tinea capitis. While T. rubrum is the most frequent cause of dermatomycoses worldwide, with the highest incidence in Europe, it affects hair and hair roots only in exceptional cases . A hair infection due to T. rubrum was first described by Wilson in 1952 , however, it comparatively rarely causes tinea capitis.…”

“…T. benhamiae was formerly known as Trichophyton species of Arthroderma benhamiae; this species was considered part of the T. mentagrophytes species complex [4]. Previously, T. benhamiae was often misdiagnosed as Microsporum canis [51,52] or T. mentagrophytes var. porcellae [42] due to the similar colony color, or as T. interdigitale due to a microscopic similarities [51].…”

Dermatophytes are filamentous fungi with the ability to digest and grow on keratinized substrates. The ongoing improvements in fungal detection techniques give new scope for clinical implementations in laboratories and veterinary clinics, including the monitoring of the disease and carrier status. The technologically advanced methods for dermatophyte detection include molecular methods based on PCR. In this context, the aim of this study was to carry out tests on the occurrence of dermatophytes in cattle herds using qPCR methods and a comparative analysis with conventional methods. Each sample collected from ringworm cases and from asymptomatic cattle was divided into three parts and subjected to the real-time PCR technique, direct light microscopy analysis, and culture-based methods. The use of the real-time PCR technique with pan-dermatophyte primers detected the presence of dermatophytes in the sample with a 10.84% (45% vs. 34.17%) higher efficiency than direct analysis with light microscopy. Moreover, a dermatophyte culture was obtained from all samples with a positive qPCR result. In conclusion, it seems that this method can be used with success to detect dermatophytes and monitor cowsheds in ringworm cases and carriers in cattle.

“…mentagrophytes Genotyp III* ist in Deutschland entsprechend der neuen Taxonomie der häufigste zoophile Dermatophyt innerhalb dieser Spezies. Typischerweise gelangt der Pilz von kleinen Nagetieren, jedoch auch über Katzen zum Menschen [6]. Das Mittel der Wahl zur Behandlung ist Terbinafin, bei Kindern immer im Off‐Label‐Use [3].…”
