Pathogenicity of germinated conidia of Trichophyton rubrum, A. benhamiae, and Microsporum canis dermatophytes to silkworms. Conidia of Trichophyton rubrum, A. benhamiae, and Microsporum canis dermatophytes were cultured at 28 °C for 21 h. Conidia (2 × 106) were injected into silkworms, and the silkworms were reared at 30 °C. Survival of the animals was monitored. n = 5/group.
