Comparative Genome Analysis of Trichophyton rubrum and Related Dermatophytes Reveals Candidate Genes Involved in Infection

mBio, 2012
The major cause of athlete’s foot is Trichophyton rubrum, a dermatophyte or fungal pathogen of human skin. To facilitate molecular analyses of the dermatophytes, we sequenced T.

Paediatric Tinea Capitis in New Zealand: A Case Series

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We reviewed 41 children referred to a New Zealand regional dermatology service between 2016 and 2026 with scalp alopecia suspected to be tinea capitis. Microsporum canis accounted for 17 of the 24 dermatophytes isolated (71%), a distribution consistent with New Zealand series over the past seven decades and unlike the shift towards ...

Hair Degradation Patterns in Aquatic and Soil Environments

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hair is a biological material that can provide information in archaeology and forensics. Previous studies have mainly examined changes occurring post‐mortem. In this study, we focused on hair pulled out ante‐mortem. The aim of the study was to identify patterns in the degradation of hair in water and soil.

Real-Time PCR as an Alternative Technique for Detection of Dermatophytes in Cattle Herds

Animals, 2021
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 ...

AI‐Assisted Fungal Detection in Dermatopathology: A Study on Accuracy, Efficiency, and Usability

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background and Objectives AI‐based image analysis is increasingly applied in pathology. Excluding fungal elements in PAS‐stained skin sections is labor‐intensive and well suited for AI assistance. While fungal detection in nails has been studied, skin‐biopsy applications and real‐world benefit remain limited.

Emergence of Trichophyton indotineae in Switzerland (2014–2025): Clinical analysis and antifungal susceptibility

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background and objectives Trichophyton indotineae is an emerging dermatophyte associated with chronic, recalcitrant dermatophytosis and terbinafine resistance due to squalene epoxidase (SQLE) mutations. We analyzed clinical characteristics, antifungal susceptibility profiles, SQLE mutations, and treatment outcomes of cases diagnosed in ...
