The presence of keratinophilic fungi was revealed by sampling the air of Pavia (Italy) from March 1981 to February 1982. The species isolated were: Chrysosporium indicum , Geomyces pannorum var. pannorum , Microsporum gypseum, Myceliophtora vellerea and Trichophyton terrestre . Several filamentous fungi tolerating high levels of cycloheximide were also recovered.

In the present study, 10 soil samples were collected aseptically from an equal number of areas of the Antarctic in the zone occupied by the 1986-1987 Italian expedition for research on keratinophilic fungi. Of particular interest was the isolation of a pathogenic fungus, Microsporum gypseum, from t
Two hundred and thirty soil samples from different localities were examined for the presence of geophilic keratinophilic fungi. Six species namely Microsporum gypseum -34 isolates, Chrysosporium keratinophilum -29, C. tropicum -20, Keratinophyton terreum -4, Trichophyton terrestre -8 and Chrysospori
One hundred sixty one soil samples from the Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo were analyzed. The keratinophilic fungi present in the soil samples were isolated and classified with the hair-bait method. The most common was T. ajelloi (28.6% of the total samples) followed by Chrysosporium keratinophilum (14.3
