This case report documents the first instance of Microsporum canis infection in a red fox, successfully treated with ketoconazole, highlighting asymptomatic cats as possible carriers of this pathogen.

This study found that comma hairs are a distinctive feature of tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis, distinguishing it from alopecia areata, which is characterized by exclamation mark hairs.

This study reports two HIV-infected men with a rare M. canis infection unresponsive to ketoconazole and terbinafine, where itraconazole was effective but prolonged treatment led to only one cure.

This study found that in Yogyakarta, dermatophytosis in cats is primarily caused by M. canis and characterized by symptoms such as alopecia, crust, and erythema.

This study suggests that the serum marker may play a role in the pathogenesis of tinea capitis and could serve as an independent risk factor for assessing vulnerability, activity, and severity of the condition.

This report describes two cases of tinea capitis in young siblings, with cultures showing M. canis and Rhodotorulla, and notes improvement after treatment with ketoconazole lotion and shampoo for two months.

This study presented a case of tinea capitis in a 4-year-old without typical symptoms and traced the infection to Microsporum canis carried by domestic cats, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, especially in households with pets.

This study reports improvement in tinea capitis symptoms in two siblings after two months of treatment with ketoconazole lotion and shampoo, following initial findings of M. canis and Rhodotorulla infections.

This review discusses systemic antifungal treatments for tinea capitis in children, noting that newer agents like terbinafine and itraconazole require shorter courses than the traditional griseofulvin, but may be more costly.

This study found that a fermented mixture containing Sasa Borealis leaf improved tensile strength and glossiness in hair damaged by heat perm and dyeing, suggesting potential as a cosmetic ingredient.

This study observed a high prevalence of the dermatophyte M. canis in humans and pets in Egypt, particularly highlighting the potential for zoonotic transmission from dogs and cats to humans.

This study observed that dermatophytosis, primarily caused by fungi like M. canis, is the most common fungal skin infection in cats, often resolving spontaneously except in young or immunocompromised animals.

Microsporum canis breaks down animal hair fastest in sheep and foxes, slowest in humans.

This study found that the subtilisin protease Sub3 from Microsporum canis is essential for adherence to the feline epidermis but is not necessary for invading epidermal structures.

This study found that Mueller-Hinton Agar performed better than Dermasel Agar for antifungal susceptibility testing of feline dermatophytes, providing reliable susceptibility data for effective antifungal therapy.

This study reported three cases of tinea corporis caused by Microsporum canis in a household, linked to a domestic cat, where genetic analysis suggested a familial transmission route.

This study identified significant differences in medullary structure, hair length, and root diameter among dorsal guard hairs of red foxes, golden jackals, and gray wolves in Turkey.

This article reviews the impact of natural fungal pathogens on laboratory animal research and reports no new results, calling attention to infection risks with dermatophytes, Candida, and pneumonia in immunocompromised rodents.

The study found Microsporum canis to be the most common cause of tinea capitis in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, with griseofulvin and topical imidazole effectively treating the infection.

This study found that androgenic steroids, particularly androstenedione and androstanedione, significantly reduced the growth of certain dermatophytes, suggesting hormonal influence on fungal infections in hair follicles.

This study highlights that dermatophytosis, a common fungal skin infection in cats, caused by Microsporum and Trichophyton species, typically resolves on its own but may be more severe in immunocompromised individuals and young animals.

This study reported that tinea capitis, though rare in infants under 1 year, should be suspected in those with hair loss or scalp inflammation and can be effectively treated with specific antifungal medications.

This review discusses the widespread issue of dermatophytosis in humans and animals, particularly noting its prevalence in dogs and cats, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, veterinary examinations of 150 domestic canines and felines revealed that M. canis was the predominant dermatophyte, affecting 9 cats and 9 dogs, with dogs showing more severe lesions and higher neutrophil counts in the cytological analysis.

This study found that azelaic acid entrapped in transethosomes exhibited enhanced antidermatophyte activity and improved treatment outcomes in guinea pig models of dermatophytosis compared to free azelaic acid.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

This case report describes a dermatophytic granuloma caused by Microsporum canis in a heart-lung transplant recipient, emphasizing the need for systemic antifungal treatment in such deep infections.

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 case study reported that a one-year-old male dog with demodicosis successfully recovered after treatment with Bravecto (fluralaner) and supportive therapies, highlighting the importance of recognizing and managing Demodex canis infections in dogs.

This article highlights that tinea capitis in adults is often misdiagnosed, leading to treatment delays, and suggests fungal testing for those unresponsive to seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis treatments.
