[Dermatophytosis, pseudo-dermatophytosis and healthy cutaneous portage observed in Platyrhini and Cynomorpha monkeys (author's transl)].

The most frequent tinea of the subhuman Primates are microsporosis due to Microsporum canis or trichophytosis at Trichophyton mentagrophytes and T. simii. The T. mentagrophytes, an anthropo-zoophilic species must be differenciated from T. rubrum and T. interdigitale, dermatophytes of the man; due to the importance of that diagnosis in Primate mycology, some tests are used for the differenciation. Between the 226 monkeys investigated it was registered: 2 trichophytosis at T. mentagrophytes (an onychosis in a Cebus capucinus and a back-skin implantation in a Cercopithecus mona campbelli) and 13 cases of pseudo-dermatophytosis cutaneous disorders. From 40 of the 221 healthy subjects were discovered 14 porteur monkeys of keratinophilic fungi (2 T. terrestre, 1 Keratinomyces ajelloi, 5 Chrysosporium keratinophilus and 7 Chrysosporium sp.). The question of the alopecia of the Primates, without isolating a dermatophyte, was discussed.
