A virulent genotype of Microsporum canis is responsible for the majority of human infections.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 Oct 2007

Sharma Rahul, de Hoog S, Presber Wolfgang, Gräser Yvonne

Abstract excerpt

The zoophilic dermatophyte species Microsporum canis belongs to the Arthroderma otae complex and is known to mate with tester strains of that teleomorph species, at least in the laboratory. Human infections are likely to be acquired from the fur of cats, dogs and horses. Epidemiological studies to reveal sources and routes of infection have been hampered by a lack of polymorphic molecular markers. Human cases...
