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 ...

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.

Virulence Factors Involved in Pathogenicity of Dermatophytes
Walailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2015 Pathogenic dermatophytes are prevalent causes of a superficial cutaneous infection, which have the ability to invade keratinized structures such as skin, hairs and nails.

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.In this exploratory analysis, dyshidrotic eczema demonstrated a distinct sensitisation pattern compared with non‐dyshidrotic hand eczema. The lower proportion of clinically relevant reactions amongst positive patch tests suggests a multi‐factorial and not exclusively allergic background.

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.

Secreted proteases from dermatophytes
, 2008 Dermatophytes are highly specialized pathogenic fungi that exclusively infect the stratum corneum, nails or hair, and it is evident that secreted proteolytic activity is important for their virulence.

Evolution of Dermatophytic Fungi: Anthropogenic and Biogenic Environmental Factors
International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change presents new challenges to dermatologic care, ranging from anthropogenic factors, such as pollution that select for extremotolerant and potentially antifungal‐resistant fungi, to biogenic factors that can drive zoonotic outbreaks, which have received increased attention since the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic.
