ABSTRACT

We report 1 case of lobomycosis caused by Lacazia loboi in a fisherman and 1 case of lobomycosis-like disease in a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) along the coast of Venezuela. These findings suggest that the marine environment is a likely habitat for L. loboi and a reservoir for infection.

ABSTRACT

In order to study the presence of keratinophilic fungi with special reference to dermatophytes on the coat of dogs and cats living in the cities of Mexico and Nezahualcoyotl in the Metropolitan area of Mexico City, two hundred samples were collected from dogs and one hundred from cats by using the MacKenzie's tooth brush technique, they were processed by routine mycological methods for dermatophyte fungi, results were analyzed by means of the statistical packages SAS. There were isolated 67 and 90 keratinophilic strains from cats and dogs samples, respectively. The most commonly fungi isolated in pure culture in this study were Chrysosporium spp (25%), followed by Trichophyton terrestre (22%), Microsporum gypseum (5%), M. canis (4%), as well as mixed cultures like Chrysosporium spp. & M. gypseum (2%) and T. terrestre & T. mentagrophytes (1%). Keratinophilic fungi were found in higher numbers in the cat haircoat (67%) than in the dog's (45%) and the same was true with regard to dermatophytes with 12 isolates out of a 100 samples in cats and 7 Isolates out of 200 samples from dogs. This may represent a health risk for humans in contact with a dermatophyte infected cat or dog.

ABSTRACT

As dermatomicoses dos animais domésticos constituem zoonoses importantes, uma vez que estes mantêm estreito contato com a espécie humana, dada a alta infectividade observada nesses processos. Relata-se ocorrência de sete surtos de dermatomicoses, um por M. gypseum envolvendo um gato e um indivíduo do sexo feminino e os outros por M. canis envolvendo 20 indivíduos da espécie humana (adultos, jovens e crianças de ambos os sexos), 5 cäes, 16 gatos e um macaco gibäo (Hylobates lar)

ABSTRACT

The authors present the fourth Brazilian case of human Microsporum nanum (M. nanum) infection. A child of nine months old presents cutaneous dorsal lesions compatible with tinea corporis, which appeared one month before. The culture revealed M. nanum. The lesions resolved spontaneously after a month. Epidemiologic investigation in the patient's place of origin identified swine infected by M. nanum, indicating the probable source of the infection.

ABSTRACT

"Tokelau" e uma molestia tropical, em que grandes areas do corpo sao cobertas com aneis concentricos e anulares, pardacentos com grande numero de escamas. O rosto e o couro cabeludo, de um modo geral, sao isentos. A mesma, e proveniente de um fungo vegetal, encontrado na epiderme, particularmente na camada cornea. O micelio e abundante, os esporos mais raros. Ele e formado por longos e finos filamentos bifurcados, juntos uns aos outros. Os esporos sao arredondados, altamente refrataveis, variando no tamanho. Para observa-los e aos esporos, as escamas epidermicas, sao raspadas com um objeto cortante e postas em uma lamina microscopica, com uma gota de potassa caustica (10 a 40 por cento). Uma laminula e aplicada com certa pressao para aplanar as escamas. O fungo e estudado melhor com uma lente de imersao, entretanto pode ser visto com lentes comuns a seco. O "tokelau" foi observado pela primeira vez por William Dampier no Arquipelago Malaio. Manson, em 1876, descreveu as principais caracteristicas da dermatose, considerando-a uma micose epidermica, designando-a pelo nome "Tinea imbricata". Roquette Pinto observou a existencia de Mal no Brasil conforme e relatado em seu livro "Rondonia", Estado do Mato Grosso. Isso foi confirmado por Olimpio da Fonseca e outros. A cultura desse fungo foi obtida por muitos autores, como por exemplo Langeron, Sabouraud, Olimpio da Fonseca, etc. Admite-se em geral que o fungo isolado das escamas e o "Trichophyton concentricum", Blanchard 1896. Vicente Grieco observou no Mato Grosso, Alto Xingu, 11 casos de "tokelau", que sao descritos no artigo junto

ABSTRACT

Basándonos en los criterios ecológicos de Georg Otcenaseck & Rosicky, que permiten analizar las relaciones epidemiológicas entre los dermatofitos y sus hospedadores o habitat, se revisan las fuentes de infección y el modo de transmisión de las dermatofitosis, tanto en el hombre como en los animales, destacándose principalmente los casos en que éstos últimos son la fuente de infección
