This study explored the relationships between virus susceptibility to infection and several factors, finding that higher heat tolerance and larger virus size correlated positively with infection susceptibility, while high humidity and higher mutation rates correlated inversely among eight RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza.

This study found that Demodex mites may transport Microsporum canis spores on human skin, suggesting a potential role in microbial movement despite typically being considered harmless.

This case series observed the diagnostic challenges of secondary syphilis, highlighting diverse presentations such as rashes and systemic symptoms that can mimic other conditions, underscoring the importance of dermatological review, serological testing, and interdisciplinary care for effective treatment and management.

In this study involving a murine skin infection model, researchers found that the Trichophyton mentagrophytes strain TIMM 2789, specific to rodents, induced typical symptoms of superficial dermatophytosis, while revealing that the fungal gene SUB6 is not essential for virulence.

This study presents a case of a 67-year-old immunocompromised woman with ulcerated genital and perianal lesions diagnosed as herpesvirus-induced dermatovirosis, highlighting the importance of considering viral infections in differential diagnoses and the potential for resistance to typical antiviral treatments.

This paper reviews the pathogenesis of dermatophytosis in cats and discusses diagnostic methods and treatment needs without reporting new clinical results.

This report describes a case of cryptococcal meningitis in an immunosuppressed patient in Manaus, highlighting the need for improved health education on preventing cryptococcosis.

This case study presents an asthma patient with H1N1 pneumonia who developed invasive Aspergillosis despite avoiding steroids, suggesting that factors other than steroid use can contribute to IA in such patients.

This review examines factors influencing dermatophyte infection in companion animals, focusing on prevalence, clinical signs, pathogenesis, immune response, and the impact of cortisol and cytokines, but reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights Malassezia's dual role as both protective and pathogenic within the hair follicle ecosystem, noting its involvement in skin disorders and potential cancer progression, and calls for further studies to develop targeted treatments for related conditions.

In this report, two Persian cats and their owner with low immunity due to chemotherapy were identified with a rare dermatophytic infection caused by Chrysosporium spp., and the infection improved following fluconazole treatment.

In this study, evidence that trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus targets follicular keratinocytes was observed in a pediatric case, suggesting these cells as the primary viral target.

This study found that all tested cats and 86.66% of dogs were carriers of dermatophytes like Microsporum canis, with cats showing higher prevalence, indicating these asymptomatic animals may significantly contribute to the spread of dermatophytosis and dermatomycoses.

An 8-year-old girl developed a rare skin condition in a linear pattern on one side of her body after a lung infection, which improved with treatment.

In this case report, researchers described a 48-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed a fungus ball (aspergilloma) within a tuberculosis cavity, a complication rarely reported in such patients, emphasizing the role of CT scans in diagnosis and the potential need for surgical intervention.

This review discusses the prevalence, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of zoophilic dermatophyte infections in small exotic mammals and reports no new clinical findings; it emphasizes the need for veterinary guidance and public awareness.

This review discusses the potential of ozone therapy as an adjuvant to radio-chemotherapy for cancer patients, noting enhanced treatment effects and improved quality of life, but it presents no new research findings.

This report suggests that orf infections in Brussels often occur after the Islamic Feast of Sacrifice due to the ritual sheep sacrifice, affecting both men and women handling the animals.

This case report highlights a rare instance of visceral leishmaniasis presenting as seropositive rheumatoid arthritis in a patient with HIV, emphasizing the importance of considering chronic infections as a differential diagnosis in inflammatory arthritis, especially in diverse populations with a history of travel.

This case report describes a dog suffering from dermatophytosis, a zoonotic fungal infection common in warm and humid climates, with alopecia noted in the neck region and the tip of the ear.

This study demonstrated that antigens from the skin bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis can stimulate CD8+ T cells, which in turn enhance wound healing.

This study found that all healthy cats tested were carriers of *Microsporum canis*, and 86.66% of dogs carried this fungus, with further positive cultures for other dermatophytes and yeasts suggesting these animals may contribute to environmental fungal spread.

This article presents a case report of a patient with multiple health conditions and persistent fatigue and dyspnea, but no definitive diagnosis was reached.
