Trichophyton benhamiae var. luteum and T. europaeum - recently described dermatophytes within the T. benhamiae complex - were identified in nine cases of dermatophytosis involving guinea pigs, chinchillas and dogs. The diagnosis was obtained through direct hair/scale examination, culture and sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer region of ribosomal DNA.

Trichophyton benhamiae var. luteum et T. europaeum - dermatophytes récemment décrits au sein du complexe T. benhamiae - ont été identifiés dans neuf cas de dermatophytose de cobayes, de chinchillas et de chiens. Le diagnostic a été obtenu par examen direct des poils/écailles, culture et séquençage de la région ITS de l'ADN ribosomique.
