This chapter reviews a case of dermatophytosis in a dog, emphasizing diagnosis and treatment strategies without reporting new clinical results; it includes questions and answers to enhance veterinary dermatology skills.

This study identified ISPP-Rb, a novel immuno-stimulatory complex from Royoporus badius, that significantly activates murine macrophage cells and induces multiple proinflammatory cytokines.

This case study reports a 36-year-old man's fungal infection, identified as Trichosporon inkin, which was treated with shaving and antifungal therapy.

This study found that low temperature triggers root hair elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana through a FERONIA-ROP2-TORC signaling pathway, also activated by nitrogen deficiency.

In this case study, a 55-year-old male farmer from Nepal with a kerion barbae in the beard region showed complete resolution after initiating oral itraconazole, highlighting the potential for misdiagnosis when bacterial superinfection complicates dermatophyte infections.

This study found that the small signaling peptide RALF22 plays a key role in root hair growth response to volatile compounds emitted by Penicillium aurantiogriseum through ethylene, auxin, and photosynthesis signaling in Arabidopsis.

This study identified the clinical aspects and dermatophyte types involved in tinea incognito in Iran, with Trichophyton verrucosum being the most frequently isolated species among affected patients.

This study identified a mutant in Arabidopsis with shorter root hairs due to early growth cessation, implicating the IRE gene in regulating root hair growth duration.

In this study, a combination of terbinafine and mitotane was used to treat a dog with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism and dermatophytosis, showing regrowth of hair and negative fungal cultures without detectable adverse effects.

This review discusses dermatophytosis in equines, caused primarily by T. equinum, noting its global prevalence and highlighting diagnostic methods; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the fungus Microsporum gypseum enzymatically degrades keratin in human hair, with the sequence of degradation reflecting the keratinization and cystine content of individual hair components in vitro.

This study identified a key Arabidopsis thaliana gene, TIP1, whose product is involved in S-acylation crucial for normal plant cell growth, particularly affecting root hair development.

This study in Arabidopsis thaliana found that exposure to volatile compounds from Penicillium aurantiogriseum promotes root hair growth through signaling involving RALF22, ethylene, auxin, and photosynthesis, and that RALF22 plays a crucial role in the plants' response to these compounds.

This source discusses how the skin mycobiome, dominated by Malassezia fungi, may provide a unique niche that can be disrupted by environmental changes, potentially leading to the fungal pathogen C. auris overtaking Malassezia and predisposing individuals to severe infections.

In this study, researchers conducted a large genome-wide association meta-analysis and found 30 significant genetic loci linked to the risk of dermatophytosis, shedding light on the roles of keratin biology, skin barrier defects, immune dysfunction, and obesity in the disease.

This article reviews the characteristics and treatment options for various dermatophyte infections, highlighting that systemic treatment is essential for tinea capitis while topical treatments are generally effective for other types.

In this study, the researchers observed that the evolution of Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens, which causes tan spot in Australian mungbeans, is driven by clonal expansion from existing genetic variations, emphasizing the need for informed breeding strategies to manage resistance against this pathogen.

This study found that patients with recurrent dermatophytosis experienced significant impairment in quality of life, suggesting the importance of early treatment and counseling to reduce psychosocial effects.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with an extensive Microsporum canis scalp infection, highlighting griseofulvin as the preferred treatment and noting corticosteroids' benefit in severe inflammatory cases.

This study reports a case where Geotricum candidum caused skin lesions in a horse following long-term corticosteroid and antibiotic use, highlighting the importance of prompt veterinary consultation for dermatitis diagnosis.

This study reported the presence of dermatophyte macroconidia directly in clinical samples from a 3-year-old boy with tinea capitis, marking the first time this has been documented. The infection, caused by Microsporum ferrugineum, was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole and topical ketoconazole shampoo.

This thesis reveals that tenuazonic acid inhibits plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase, suggesting its potential as a herbicide due to its impact on root elongation and cell viability in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study identified the presence of recognizable organelles, such as lysosomes and mitochondria, in both the keratinized fiber and the hardened inner root sheath of the Romney wool follicle.

This narrative review and case report identified a rare association between erythema nodosum and kerion caused by *Trichophyton mentagrophytes*, with successful treatment using antifungals and corticosteroids.

In this study, researchers observed that Thunbergia grandiflora and Russelia equisetiformis exhibited mutual aid by altering their phenotypic characteristics to facilitate intertwining, suggesting a form of solidarity without apparent external threats.

In this expert consensus, the authors aimed to address the challenges of diagnosing and treating uncommon dermatophytoses due to their distinct characteristics and lack of standardized protocols, by providing scientific guidance on their epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment.

This case report identifies a 13-year-old boy with disseminated tinea incognito, emphasizing the importance of considering fungal infections when red and scaly lesions persist despite corticosteroid treatment.

This review discusses the infection dermatophytosis in cats and reports no new results; it emphasizes the difficulty of eradicating the disease in shelters and catteries.
