We analyzed the population structure of the anthropophilic dermatophyte species Trichophyton violaceum, which mainly causes tinea capitis, and T. rubrum, the most frequently isolated agent of dermatophytosis worldwide. A microsatellite marker (T1) was developed by using the enrichment technique for microsatellites. The T1 marker containing a (GT)(8-10) repeat was proven to specifically amplify both species, underlining their close kinship. Four polymorphic alleles were detected within a set of a ...[more]
