Abstract A description is provided for Nannizzia fulva. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Recorded only from man (but see NOTES). Guinea-pigs have been experimentally infected. DISEASE: Ringworm (dermatophytosis, tinea). Nannizzia fulva is present in the soil and apparently only rarely pathogenic. The scalp (tinea capitis) and glabrous skin (tinea corporis) may be infected. Skin lesions are inflammatory. The only proved case of scalp infection is that recorded by Uriburu (1909); according to Sabouraud (Les Teignes, 1910, p. 241) in this case there was a light inflammatory reaction and infected hairs were indistinguishable from those in M. audouinii infections. In experimental inoculations of guineapigs (Rdzanek, pers. comm.) N. fulva was slightly less virulent than N. gypsea and N. incurvata, the reaction varying from negative to strongly inflammatory. A few ectothrix hyphae breaking up into arthrospores were seen on some hairs, and infected hairs did not fluoresce under Wood's light. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Tanzania), Europe (Great Britain, Hungary, Yugoslavia), South America (Argentina). Probably world-wide in distribution in the soil, but there may be local limiting factors (e.g., in Great Britain it has been recorded only for Bristol, Somerset, and Wiltshire).

Abstract A description is provided for Nannizzia incurvata. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Recorded only from man and dog (but see NOTES). Guinea-pigs have been experimentally infected. DISEASE: Ringworm (dermatophytosis, tinea). Nannizzia incurvata is present in soil and apparently only rarely a cause of disease. In man the scalp (tinea capitis) and glabrous skin (tinea corporis) may be infected. Skin lesions are inflammatory but details of known scalp infections are not available. In experimental inoculations of guineapigs (Rdzanek, pers. comm.) N. incurvata was intermediate between N. gypsea and N. fulva in virulence, the reaction varying from negative to strongly inflammatory. Ectothrix hyphae breaking up into large arthrospores were seen on some hairs, and infected hairs did not fluoresce under Wood's light. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (India), Europe (Czechoslovakia, Great Britain and Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Poland); U.S.A. (Tenn.); N. incurvata is probably of world-wide distribution in the soil.

Abstract A description is provided for Nannizzia gypsea. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Recorded only from man (but see NOTES). Guinea-pigs have been experimentally infected. DISEASE: Ringworm (dermatophytosis, tinea). Nannizzia gypsea is apparently widespread in soil and only rarely pathogenic. The scalp (tinea capitis) and glabrous skin (tinea corporis) may be infected. Skin lesions are inflammatory, but details of only two scalp infections are known. In both the lesions were inflammatory; in one favus-like crusts were also found and in the other hair invasion was of the large-spored ectothrix type. In experimental inoculations of guineapigs (Rdzanek, pers. comm.) N. gypsea was slightly more virulent than N. incurvata and N. fulva, the reaction varying from negative to strongly inflammatory, a few ectothrix hyphae breaking up into arthrospores were seen on some hairs, and infected hairs did not fluoresce under Wood's light. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (Japan), Australasia and Oceania (Australia (New South Wales), New Zealand, Raratonga, Cook Island), Europe (France, Great Britain, Italy); North America (Tenn.). Probably of world-wide distribution in the soil.

Abstract A description is provided for Nannizzia obtusa. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Primarily a pathogen of the pig, occasionally transmitted to man. Guinea-pigs have been experimentally infected. DISEASE: Ringworm (dermatophytosis, tinea). In pigs lesions are circular and circumscribed to irregular in outline, sometimes involving almost the whole body. They are reddish in colour and are frequently covered with brownish crusts. Alopecia and pruritis do not occur (RMVM 5, 226, 491-492). In man the scalp (tinea capitis) and glabrous skin (tinea corporis) may be infected. Scalp lesions reported have shown a kerion type of reaction with endothrix hair invasion; in some cases infected hairs have fluoresced light green under Wood's light. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Reported from Africa (Kenya), Australasia (Australia, New Zealand); North America (Canada, U.S.A. (Ind., Kans., Ky, Miss., N.J., Pa)), Central America and West Indies (Mexico, Cuba). Possibly world-wide in distribution.

Abstract A description is provided for Microsporum audouinii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Primarily a pathogen of man. Also recorded on the dog, gibbon, guineapig and monkey. Most strains are not pathogenic for experimental animals. DISEASE: Ringworm (dermatophytosis, tinea). Infected hairs usually fluoresce bright green under Wood's light and are surrounded by an ectothrix sheath of small spores in a mosaic arrangement. In man, the scalp (tinea capitis) and less frequently the glabrous skin (tinea corporis) may be infected. Children are most susceptible, and in adults infection is usually confined to the glabrous skin, although a few scalp infections have been reported. Rothman et al. (RMVM 1, 614) noted that fatty acids from adult hair fat inhibited M. audouinii in vitro and suggested that this was the reason for lower incidence of infection in adults, but Kligman & Grinsberg (RMVM 1, 1800) found that adult sebum was not more fungistatic than that of children. Scalp lesions are usually circular, scaling areas of alopecia and, in contrast to M. cants infections, there is generally very little inflammatory reaction. Skin lesions are usually circulate scaling areas with clearing centres. Kligman (RMVM 1, 2510; 2, 2484) studied the pathogenesis of tinea capitis due to M. audouinii. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Algeria, Chad Republic, Cameroons, Congo, Egypt, French West Africa, Guinea Republic, Madagascar, Morocco, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Tunisia); Asia (India, Java, Palestine, Persia, Turkey), Australasia & Oceania (Australia (New South Wales, Western Australia), New Zealand), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain and Ireland, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, U.S.S.R., Yugoslavia), North America (Canada, U.S.A.), Central America and West Indies (Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico); South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Venezuela).

Also isolated from soil, leaf litter, wood, air, sewage, marine driftwood, fibreglass and human sources. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: AFRICA: Nigeria. NORTH AMERICA: Canada, USA. SOUTH AMERICA: Venezuela. ASIA: Burma, India, Kuwait, Malaysia. AUSTRALASIA: Australia. EUROPE: Great Britain, Italy, Netherlands. TRANSMISSION: Soil-borne, but little else is known of other possible vectors.
