Figures

FIG. 1.
FIG. 1.
Phylogeny of a dermatophyte (T. rubrum [red]) and other fungi, including human pathogens (green). The figure was kindly provided by Koichi Makimura, Teikyo University. The figure was adapted from a phylogenetic tree based on 18S ribosomal DNA sequences (Pathogenic Fungi Database [http://www.pfdb.net/]).
FIG. 2.
FIG. 2.
Phylogeny of the dermatophytes using ITS sequences. The tree includes zoophilic (red), anthropophilic (black), and geophilic (green) dermatophytes. The horizontal length corresponding to 0.01 substitution/site is shown at the bottom. The five species to be sequenced are labeled with blue arrows. Vertical lines represent groupings of dermatophytes discussed in the text. Keratinomyces ceretanicus (dark green, at the bottom of the figure), another euascomycete, was used as an outgroup. This species is known to be the most phylogenetically distinct dermatophyte species and is not known to be pathogenic to humans (24). The figure was adapted from reference with permission.
