Abstract A description is provided for Epidermophyton floccosum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Primarily a pathogen of man (causing mycoses). Also recorded from dog (RMVM 6, 1920) and mouse (RMVM 6, 639). Animal inoculation is rarely successful; the guineapig (RMVM 14, 804), monkey (RMVM 1, 182) and the chorio-allantoic membrane of the hen's egg (RMVM 2, 1676; 4, 82) have been infected experimentally. DISEASE: Ringworm (dermatophytosis, tinea). The groin (tinea cruris, eczema marginatum, dobie itch) and feet (tinea pedis) are most frequently infected. The body (tinea corporis), hands (tinea manuum) and nails (onychomycosis, tinea unguium) may also be infected. Infections of the scalp (tinea capitis) are rare and the hair is never invaded in vivo. Skin lesions are scaling and erythematous, well-marginated with minute vesicopapules in the border. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Worldwide.

Abstract A description is provided for Microsporum canis. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Primarily a pathogen of the cat and dog, frequently transmitted to man. Also recorded from the chimpanzee, chinchilla, fox, lion, monkey, pig, rabbit, sheep and tiger. Experimental animals are susceptible to infection. DISEASE: Ringworm (dermatophytosis, tinea). Infected hairs and animal claws usually fluoresce bright green under Wood's light and hairs are surrounded by ectothrix sheaths of small spores in a mosaic arrangement. In cats the lesions are usually inconspicuous. They may occur on any part of the body, but particularly the face and paws, and the whiskers and claws may be involved. In dogs infection is more noticeable, and is characterized by small circular areas of scaling and alopecia, sometimes with oedema and crust formation, on any part of the body. The claws may also be infected. Infections in dogs have a well defined seasonal incidence with a peak in Oct. -Feb., but the incidence in cats is poorly defined (Kaplan & Ivens, Sabouraudia 1: 91-102, 1961). In man the scalp (tinea capitis), glabrous skin (tinea corporis), and rarely the beard (tinea barbae), foot (tinea pedis) and nails (tinea unguium, onychomycosis) may be infected (mycoses). Children are most susceptible, particularly to scalp infection which is very rare in adults. Scalp lesions are scaling, inflammatory areas containing broken hairs or with total hair loss. Pustulation and kerion formation are not uncommon. Skin lesions are circinate, with a scaling centre and vesicular border. Kligman (RMVM 1, 2510; 2, 2484) studied the pathogenesis of tinea capitis caused by M. canis. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Algeria, Angola, Cape Verde Islands, Egypt, French W. Africa, Sahara, Tunisia, Union of S. Africa); Asia (Ceylon, India, Philippines, Turkey); Australasia & Oceania (Australia (N.S.W.), New Zealand); Europe, North America, Central America and West Indies (Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico); South America (Argentina, Brazil (south of Pernambuco), Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela).

Abstract A description is provided for Arthroderma simii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: The natural habitat of this species is uncertain. It was first isolated from the rhesus monkey but occurs more frequently on the fowl and it has been suggested that the fowl is the primary host, the monkey becoming infected when it raids the chicken yard for food. Also recorded from man (particularly poultry attendants), chimpanzee, dog and domestic rabbit. It has also been isolated from small mammals (gerbil, guineapig, mouse, shrew, squirrel, rat) without apparent lesions (RMVM 6, 1188; 8, 440; 11, 1889) and sporadically from soil (especially chicken yard soil). The fowl, guineapig, man, cynomolgus monkey, mouse and rabbit have been experimentally infected. DISEASE: Ringworm (dermatophytosis, tinea). In the fowl lesions are usually detected on the comb and wattles, occasionally at the base of the flank feathers. In man the body (tinea corporis) and less frequently the groin (tinea cruris), feet (tinea pedis), scalp (tinea capitis) and beard (tinea barbae) may be infected. Lesions in animals and man are scaling and very inflammatory and kerion formation is usual in scalp and beard infections of man (RMVM 7, 1241). Hair invasion is minimal except in experimental infections of guineapigs; in these the infected hairs show an ecto-endothrix type of invasion and usually a vivid green fluorescence under Wood's light. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: India [see NOTES].

Abstract: Dermatophytosis is a disorder of tissues with keratinized epithelia (eg. stratum corneum of epidermis, hairs, and nails) caused by fungi of dermatophyta. Based on its location, dermatophytosis is divided into: tinea capitis, tinea barbe, tinea cruris, tinea pedis et manum, tinea unguium, and tinea corporis. This study aimed to obtain the profile of dermatophytosis at the Dermatovenerology Clinic of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado, during the period of January-December 2012. This was a retrospective descriptive study. Data of dermatophytosis classification, age, gender, occupation, and therapy classification were obtained from the medical record of that Dermatovenerology Clinic. The results showed that of 65 dermatophytosis cases (1.61% of all skin disease cases in 2012), the most frequent found was tinea cruris (55.38%), with age range 45-64 years old (49.24%), female (67.70%), pensioner (25.42%), and the most frequent therapy was a combination therapy (83.08%).Keywords: dermatophytosis, dermatophyta, tineaAbstrak: Dermatofitosis adalah penyakit pada jaringan yang mengandung zat tanduk (misalnya: stratum korneum pada epidermis, rambut, dan kuku), yang disebabkan oleh golongan jamur dermatofita.

Abstract A description is provided for Nannizzia incurvata. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Recorded only from man and dog (but see NOTES). Guinea-pigs have been experimentally infected. DISEASE: Ringworm (dermatophytosis, tinea). Nannizzia incurvata is present in soil and apparently only rarely a cause of disease. In man the scalp (tinea capitis) and glabrous skin (tinea corporis) may be infected. Skin lesions are inflammatory but details of known scalp infections are not available. In experimental inoculations of guineapigs (Rdzanek, pers. comm.) N. incurvata was intermediate between N. gypsea and N. fulva in virulence, the reaction varying from negative to strongly inflammatory. Ectothrix hyphae breaking up into large arthrospores were seen on some hairs, and infected hairs did not fluoresce under Wood's light. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (India), Europe (Czechoslovakia, Great Britain and Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Poland); U.S.A. (Tenn.); N. incurvata is probably of world-wide distribution in the soil.

The peritrich Epistylis unioi Gong, 1986 was collected from fry of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco during parasite surveys at Hon-ghu Lake Fish Hatchery, Hubei Province, central China in May 2010 and redescribed. Some revisions were done basedon live, silver-impregnated, and SEM specimens. The zooid is elongated and somewhat vase-like in shape, measuring56–88 × 22–38 µm in vivo. A single contractile vacuole is apically located slightly below the peristome disc. The macro-nucleus is horseshoe-shaped, always transversely situated at the foreside of the body. Haplokinety (H) and polykinety (Po)complete one and one-half circuits on the peristome before entering the infundibulum, with a distal kinetal fragment pres-ent at the distal end. Silverline system consists of 37–45 pellicular striations between peristome and aboral trochal band(TB), and of 26–33 between TB and scopula. Colony is asymmetrically and dichotomously branched, usually with onlytwo levels of branches. In addition, the telotrochs of E. unioi were also observed and its structures were described herein.Besides, obvious skin lesions caused by the ringlike base of E. unioi were detected and the relationship between these epizooites and their hosts was briefly discussed as well.

Background: The knowledge of the clinical features and changing epidemiology of dermatophytes helps in better managing them. Objective: This study investigated the recent epidemiologic characters of Epidermophyton floccosum from January 2008 to December 2019 and attempted to compare these with previous studies. Methods: The current study included 57 patients who visited our clinic and were diagnosed with E. floccosum infection through fungal culture between January 2008 and December 2019. Data on the date of visit, gender, age at onset, and site of infection were collected through a review of medical charts and were compared with previously reported studies. Results: The frequency of isolation of E. floccosum decreased gradually, and the infections caused by E. floccosum were 33 cases of tinea cruris, 20 of tinea pedis, and 2 each of tinea corporis and tinea unguium. The male to female ratio was 10.4:1, and most infections occurred in the 10~29 year age group. Conclusion: E. floccosum infections in Korea have been decreasing rapidly since 1987. However, the clinical features of E. floccosum infections remained unchanged even at a low incidence.

Abstract A description is provided for Nannizzia fulva. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Recorded only from man (but see NOTES). Guinea-pigs have been experimentally infected. DISEASE: Ringworm (dermatophytosis, tinea). Nannizzia fulva is present in the soil and apparently only rarely pathogenic. The scalp (tinea capitis) and glabrous skin (tinea corporis) may be infected. Skin lesions are inflammatory. The only proved case of scalp infection is that recorded by Uriburu (1909); according to Sabouraud (Les Teignes, 1910, p. 241) in this case there was a light inflammatory reaction and infected hairs were indistinguishable from those in M. audouinii infections. In experimental inoculations of guineapigs (Rdzanek, pers. comm.) N. fulva was slightly less virulent than N. gypsea and N. incurvata, the reaction varying from negative to strongly inflammatory. A few ectothrix hyphae breaking up into arthrospores were seen on some hairs, and infected hairs did not fluoresce under Wood's light. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Tanzania), Europe (Great Britain, Hungary, Yugoslavia), South America (Argentina). Probably world-wide in distribution in the soil, but there may be local limiting factors (e.g., in Great Britain it has been recorded only for Bristol, Somerset, and Wiltshire).

Abstract A description is provided for Nannizzia gypsea. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Recorded only from man (but see NOTES). Guinea-pigs have been experimentally infected. DISEASE: Ringworm (dermatophytosis, tinea). Nannizzia gypsea is apparently widespread in soil and only rarely pathogenic. The scalp (tinea capitis) and glabrous skin (tinea corporis) may be infected. Skin lesions are inflammatory, but details of only two scalp infections are known. In both the lesions were inflammatory; in one favus-like crusts were also found and in the other hair invasion was of the large-spored ectothrix type. In experimental inoculations of guineapigs (Rdzanek, pers. comm.) N. gypsea was slightly more virulent than N. incurvata and N. fulva, the reaction varying from negative to strongly inflammatory, a few ectothrix hyphae breaking up into arthrospores were seen on some hairs, and infected hairs did not fluoresce under Wood's light. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (Japan), Australasia and Oceania (Australia (New South Wales), New Zealand, Raratonga, Cook Island), Europe (France, Great Britain, Italy); North America (Tenn.). Probably of world-wide distribution in the soil.

Skin is an important and most visible organ of our body. Any disease related to skin can create physical as well as psychological problems in an individual. In recent years there has been increase in the incidence of skin problems in the tropical and developing countries like India due to various factors like pollution, un-hygienic condition etc. In Ayurveda all the skin disease considered in Kustha, which are further catego-rized into Mahakustha and Kshudrakustha. Dadru is one of the most common but miserable variety of Kustha affects the population of all age groups and it stands as a challenge to different medical systems inspite of many advances. Dadru is a Kapha Pitta Pradhan Vyadhi and the management of which includes Shodhana(elimination), Shamana (alleviation) and Bahirparimarjana (external application) Chikitsa. Da-dru can be correlated with Ringworm in modern terminology. Ringworm is a common fungal skin infection otherwise known as tinea. Ringworm most commonly affects the skin on the body (tinea corporis), the scalp (tinea capitis), the feet (tinea pedis), or the groin (tinea cruris). It is the commonest single fungus group infections found in an unhygienic environment. In modern various antifungal agents like Flucona-zole, Miconazole, Itraconazole etc. have been used for the treatment of these infections. In Ayurveda, so many herbs like Cakramarda, Bakuchi, Karanja, Rasona, Haridra etc. having antifungal activity which are experimentally proved to control and treat Dadru Kustha without any adverse effect.
