    Author: Muhammed SI, Lalji N.
    Journal: Mycopathologia; 1978 Jul 28; 63(2):95-7. PubMed ID: 29226.
    Abstract:
    Two hundred and eighty one soil samples from different provinces of Kenya were examined for dermatophytes by the hair baiting technique. Dermatophytes were recovered from 84 samples. Microsporum gypseum constituted 75.8% of the total isolates while Keratinomyces ajelloi and M. cookei formed 21% and 3.2%, respectively. The distribution of the dermatophytes was influences by soil pH, being more prevalent in acidic than in alkaline soils.
