AI Article Synopsis
- A study in Egypt investigated 1,920 animals (cattle, buffalo, and sheep) and 60 humans suspected of having ringworm.
- The research detailed both clinical symptoms and mycological characteristics of the disease.
- Trichophyton verrucosum was found to be the most common dermatophyte among all species studied, while T. mentagrophytes was only found once in the soil near the affected areas.
Article Abstract
One thousand nine hundred and twenty animals (cattle, buffalo and sheep) and 60 humans suspected of ringworm were investigated in Egypt. Clinical and mycological aspects of the disease are described. Trichophyton verrucosum was the commonest dermatophyter on all species examined. Only T. mentagrophytes was isolated once from soil in the region of the clinical cases.

Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Peking University First Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Microsporum canis, a dermatophyte commonly associated with pets, is a leading cause of severe tinea capitis. The increasing prevalence of antifungal resistance among dermatophytes poses a significant global health challenge.
Objectives: This study aims to define the updated antifungal susceptibility profile of M.

Article Synopsis
- Tineola bisselliella, known as the webbing clothes moth, is a significant pest that damages clothing and textiles, and there is a lack of genomic resources for this and related species.
- The newly assembled genome consists of 30 pseudochromosomes and is highly contiguous, containing over 11,000 annotated genes, making it superior in quality compared to other Tineidae genomes.
- This genome will help researchers understand the evolution of moth karyotypes and explore the mechanisms behind the moth's ability to digest keratin.

The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. Electronic address:
Background: Pediatric alopecia is increasingly common, influenced by conditions like alopecia areata and infections such as tinea capitis, primarily caused by Microsporum canis. Diagnosing tinea capitis in primary care is challenging due to limited access to advanced tools, leading to treatment delays.
Objectives: This study evaluates the effectiveness of Wood's lamp for early diagnosis of tinea capitis and its role in distinguishing it from other pediatric alopecia types.
Exploration of synergistically engineered invasomes of fluconazole incorporated with safranal against onychomycosis for enhanced transungual delivery.

Department of Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmaceutical Education & Research, Jamia Hamdard University, New Delhi, India.
Objective: The preparation of safranal-containing invasomes for fluconazole (FLU-IN) is investigated in the current research work to augment FLU permeation, bioavailability, and solubility nail for transungual delivery.
Methods: FLU-IN was prepared utilizing the 'thin-film hydration process', and for optimization, 'Box-Behnken design (BBD)' was employed. Entrapment efficiency (EE), Poly-dispersity index (PDI), FLU release, vesicle size and zeta potential were used to characterize FLU-INopt.
