Detection of subtilisin 3 and 6 in skin biopsies of cattle with clinically manifested bovine ringworm.

Unlabelled: Trichophyton (T.) verrucosum is a highly pathogenic dermatophyte causing zoonotic bovine ringworm that is transmissible to humans. The virulence factors subtilisin (Sub)3 and Sub6 are discussed to contribute to disease manifestation but no protein expression study is available for T.

and target guinea pigs in a mixed small animal stock.

is an emerging zoonotic dermatophyte. We present a case of a small animal stock infected with two species. was isolated from 15 out of 26 (58%) guinea pigs including two morphologically different phenotypes.

MALDI-TOF MS analysis of bovine and zoonotic Trichophyton verrucosum isolates reveals a distinct peak and cluster formation of a subgroup with Trichophyton benhamiae.

The zoophilic dermatophyte Trichophyton verrucosum is the most important causative agent of bovine dermatophytosis. Additionally, it causes profound and poorly healing skin infections in humans indicating the high zoonotic potential. The objective of this study was to establish differentiation of T.
