Fungal skin infections significantly contribute to the global human disease burden, yet our understanding of cutaneous immunity against dermatophytes remains limited. Previously, we developed a model of epicutaneous infection with Microsporum canis in C57BL/6 mice, which highlighted the critical role of IL-17RA signaling in anti-dermatophyte defenses. Here, we expanded our investigation to the human pathogen Nannizzia gypsea and demonstrated that skin γδTCRint and CD8/CD4 double-negative βTCR+ T cells are the principal producers of IL-17A during dermatophytosis.

- * Diagnosis of E. bieneusi relies on microscopy and PCR techniques, which should be standardized in labs to ensure consistent results.
- * This study utilized microscopy and nested PCR with sequencing to detect E. bieneusi in human stool samples, suggesting these methods could enhance diagnosis and epidemiological research on intestinal microsporidiosis in Argentina.
