“…Trichophyton mentagrophytes, is an aetiological agent of ringworm infection in man as well as in many other species such as horses, chinchillas, dogs, cats, calves, monkeys, foxes, muskrats and squirrels (Fuentes & Aboulafia, 1955). Naturally occurring cases of ringworm among guineapigs caused by T. mentagrophytes have been described (DeLamater & Benham, 1938;Menges & George, 1956).…”

“…Naturally occurring cases of ringworm among guineapigs caused by T. mentagrophytes have been described (DeLamater & Benham, 1938;Menges & George, 1956). Some of these occurrences were of epidemic proportion and in one report T. mentagrophytes was isolated from apparently healthy guinea-pigs (Fuentes & Aboulafia, 1955;Menges & George, 1956). …”

The disease was characterized by loss of hair, initially occurring at the tip of the nose and spreading throughout the body. Lesions appeared as circular, scaley alopecia with occasional scarring. Although spread of the infection in the colony was random, the most severe infection occurred in an inbred line with light coat colour. The unusually high temperature and humidity, and the open type of outdoor management, appear to have contributed to the high incidence and severity of infection. Electron microscopic observation indicated that the organism multiplied in the keratin layer of the skin. The hyphae as well as chlamydospores were readily demonstrable by electron microscopy.

A group of 199 healthy laboratory animals, comprising 63 guinea pigs; 58 white mice. 47 rats and 31 rabbits, was sampled for the presence of pathogenic dermatophytes. T. mentagrophytes, var. granulare, was isolated in 10% (5-guinea pigs, 6 mice, 6 rats and 2 rabbits) and M. gypseum was found in 7 animals (3 guinea pigs, 3 mice and one rat). No ringworm lesions were observed in the respective animals. This is the first report on such findings in Israel.
