It is a type of dermatophyte which causes infection in dead keratinized tissues such as skin, hair, and nails . " Microsporum nanum " is found worldwide and is both zoophilic and geophilic.
17.
Analysis of its DNA sequences by PCR shows " M . gallinae " is most closely related to " Microsporum vanbreuseghemii " and " Arthroderma grubyi ", both are also zoophilic fungi.

Clinical information such as the appearance of the lesion, site, geographic location, travel history, animal contacts and race is also important, especially in identifying rare non-sporulating species like Trichophyton concentricum, Microsporum audouinii and Trichophyton schoenleinii.
