Abstract

Arthroderma simii was isolated for the first time from soil and hair of small mammals. The dermatophyte was recovered from 22 (7·7%) of 287 soil samples and it was isolated on 36 occasions from the hair of 359 apparently healthy small mammals examined. Five isolates which were tested for pathogenicity produced severe lesions in the experimental animals.

Résumé

Des recherches effectuées en Inde ont permis d'isoler Trichophyton simii pour la première fois, à partir de poils de petits mammifères sauvages. Ce dermatophyte a été isolé sur 36 des 359 animaux examinés. Le champignon a également été isolé à partir de 22 échantillons de sol sur 297 examinés. On donne les résultats des observations effectuées sur la morphologie et le pouvoir pathogène des souches isolées.
