Abstract
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.
