Mice, rats, guineapigs and rabbits that were apparently healthy and did not present skin lesions were examined for the presence of dermatophytes. A small proportion of them were found to be carriers of Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum canis (8/140 = 5·7% of mice; 2/185 =...

Summary:Mice, rats, guineapigs and rabbits that were apparently healthy and did not present skin lesions were examined for the presence of dermatophytes.
