Grubyella cahallina Brumpt. Precis Parasitol. ed. 4, 1304, 1927. 



Epizootic following introduction of a horse from Denmark into a stable 

 in France. On horse, lesions 5-6 cm. in diameter, soon confluent, covered with 

 dry crusts, with vesicopustules under the scales, only one hair in 10-15 in- 

 fected, pure ectothrix type. Nine men infected during the epizootic. On man, 

 the parasite was endoectothrix, producing a thick kerion. 



Growth slow and poor in cultures. On Sabouraud agar, small brown 

 cerebriform mass after 4-5 weeks. Still slower growth on malt agar. On 

 potato, small, grayish, isolated, little elevated colonies after 3 weeks.

Isolated from tinea capitis of the endothrix type in Algeria. Inoculable 

 to guinea pigs, producing lesions of the endothrix type, which healed spon- 

 taneously in 50 days. 



Hyphae irregular, producing arthrospores and rather large chlamydo- 

 spores. Aleurospores pyriform, 5 x 3/i-, oecasionally up to 6.5 x 4/a, not very 

 common on Sabouraud media, but abundant on grains of barley, sometimes in 

 compound groups. Transitional forms between closterospores and arthrospores 

 seen on barley. 



On Sabouraud agar, colonies glabrous, waxy at first, forming a small, promi- 

 nent central mass with a festooned margin, becoming cerebriform with many 

 short radial furrows of unequal depth. Color varying from pale mauve to 

 violet, as in F. violaceum. Pigment less developed at lower temperatures. After 

 5-6 weeks, more velvety and powdery. On Sabouraud maltose, center sharper 

 with fewer convolutions and furrows, waxy yellowish, dirty grajs or slightly 

 bister, growth poorer. On Sabouraud conservation agar, colony cerebriform, 

 slightly elevated with irregular periphery, waxy, with slightly dull surface, 

 grayish yellow. On barley, whitish, powdery or slightly velvety, very pale 

 grayish violet. On corn (maize), similar to those on barley but with deeper 

 violet color. Pleomorphic mycelium white, velvety.

Found once on a Jewish child from Russia ; producing tinea tonsurans, 

 common in Algeria, clinically similar to F. violaceum ; inoculable to guinea pig 

 (Catanei 1929, 1933).
