Microsporum persicolor (Sabouraud 1910) Guiart et Grigorakis 1928 was found in healthy hair of 4.3% of bank voles (n = 163), 0.9% of wood mice (n = 119) and 0.8% of domestic cats (n = 261). The results of the authors’ own isolation experiments were compared with the literature data of this dermatophyte in healthy and afflicted hair of different animal species. The properties of 18 strains of various origin were studied at length in cultivation on special mycological media. The perfect stage — Nannizzia persicolor Stockdale 1967 — was obtained by mating some monosporic isolates.
