Survey on the role of brown hares (Lepus europaeus, Pallas 1778) as carriers of zoonotic dermatophytes

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
The occurrence of dermatophytes and keratinophilic fungi was investigated by hair-brush technique on the coat of 986 apparently healthy brown hares (Lepus europaeus, Pallas 1778) caught in 9 restocking and capture zones in Central Italy.

A Novel Hyphal Suspension Approach for MIC Testing of Mould Fungi

open access: yesMycoses, Volume 69, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Filamentous fungi cause a wide range of superficial and invasive infections, and antifungal susceptibility assay is essential for guiding effective therapy. Standard broth microdilution methods rely on microconidia‐based inocula; however, many clinically important moulds produce insufficient microconidia due to intrinsic ...

Antifungal potential of essential oil and ethanol extracts of Lonicera japonica Thunb. against dermatophytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The antifungal potential of essential oil and ethanolic leaf extracts of Lonicera japonica Thunb. was evaluated for controlling the growth of dermatophytes. The oil (1,000 ppm) and extracts (1,500 ppm) of L. japonica revealed 55.1–70.3 % and 40.1–65.5 %

Antifungal Activity of Allium sativum (Garlic) and Zingiber officinale (Ginger) Extracts against Dermatophytes Isolated from Tinea Capitis in Children

open access: yesUMYU Journal of Microbiology Research
Tinea capitis, or dermatophytosis, is a prevalent infection in school-age children worldwide, leading to school absenteeism and educational setbacks. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) and garlic (Allium sativum) have demonstrated antifungal properties.

Advanced Fungal Control With Metallic Nanoparticles: A Comprehensive Review of Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) for Particle Concentration Characterization

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 12, 26 March 2026.
Metallic nanoparticles are emerging as potent antifungal agents, yet their efficacy is rarely quantified on a particle basis. Here, we demonstrate how nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), together with a newly proposed Particle Efficiency Index (PEI), can relate nanoparticle concentration to fungal inoculum load, enabling more rigorous and comparable ...

Secreted Proteases from Dermatophytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
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.

Retrospective Epidemiological Analyses of 12,976 Culture‐Positive Superficial Fungal Infections in Shanghai, East China

open access: yesMycoses, Volume 69, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Superficial fungal infections (SFIs) are common dermatological conditions, and both domestic and international reports indicate an increasing incidence in recent years. Their prevalence is strongly affected by climate, temperature, humidity and lifestyle, resulting in significant regional variations.
