704 A MANUAL OF THE PENICILLIA 



reported by Brumpt (1910), Emile-Weil and Gaudin (1919), Sartory and 

 Sartory (1925), Sartory, et at. (1930), Artom (1936), Nicolas, et al. (1936), 

 and others. The species usually reported is Scopidariopsis brevicaulis. 



Strains of Scopulariopsis are likewise commonly responsible for derma- 

 tomycoses of the feet and other parts of the body. Such have been reported 

 by Sartory (1916), Raymond and Parisot (1916), Leger and Nogue (1922), 

 Castellani (1925), Weisz (1934), Olah (1935), Clarrocchi (1935), and others. 

 Again the species usually reported is Scopulariopsis brevicaulis. 



Kawatsure (1933) and Bertaccini (1934) have reported strains of Scopu- 

 lariopsis as causative agents in so-called "American blastomycoses," the 

 responsible species being reported as Scopulariopsis americana and S. ber- 

 taccini, respectively. Markley, et al. (1936) isolated S. brevicaulis from an 

 ulcerating granuloma involving the inguinal and perineal regions of a 

 young woman. Greco (1916) had reported S. venerei n. sp. to be responsi- 

 ble for cases of venereal granuloma. 



Panayotatou (1927) isolated a mold from the tongue of an Egyptian boy 

 which he named Penicilliuni linguae, but noted that it belonged to the 

 genus Scopulariopsis. Neto and Martins (1931) subsequently isolated a 

 mold from a similar case in Portugal, and described the pathogen as a new 

 species, S. lingualis. 



No attempt is made to present a complete coverage of Scopulariopsis in 

 relation to diseases in man and animals. It should be noted in passing, 

 however, that members of this genus are commonly reported, and that 

 much of the animal pathology attributed to species of Penicillium is in 

 reahty due to different forms of Scopulariopsis which have erroneously been 

 referred to the genus Penicillium. For more detailed information regard- 

 ing Scopulariopsis in relation to medical mycology, the reader is referred to 

 texts on this subject by Dodge (1935), Conant, et al. (1945), and others.
