Microsporum gallinae
''Microsporum gallinae'' is a fungus of the genus Microsporum that causes dermatophytosis, commonly known as ringworm.〔 Chickens represent the host population of ''Microsporum gallinae'' but its opportunistic nature allows it to enter other populations of fowl, mice, squirrels, cats,〔 dogs and monkeys.〔 Human cases of ''M. gallinae'' are rare, and usually mild, non-life-threatening superficial infections.〔
==Taxonomy and naming==
''Microsporum gallinae'' was first identified in 1881 by Megnin from chicken favus,〔 and named ''Epidermophyton gallinae''.〔 It was later transferred from the Epidermophyton genus, and classified in the Trichophyton genus, as ''T. gallinae''.〔
The identification of rough-walled macroconidia, a hallmark of the Microsporum genus, lead to the dermatophyte being classified as ''M. gallinae''.〔〔 There is still debate about the phylogenetic placement of this dermatophyte, but the accepted name is ''Microsporum gallinae''.〔 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.〔〔
