Average number of isolates of keratinophilic fungi was 2.3 to 2.8 times higher in soil and nesting material from rodents’ burrows compared to cultivated or uncultivated soils, and 3.6 times higher than in plant samples from rodent paths. Besides common soil keratinophilic fungi (e.g., Trichophyton ajelloi, T. terrestre, Microsporum cookei, M. gypseum, Chrysosporium spp.), the dermatophyte Microsporum persicolor was found in 6% of soil and 44.4% of nesting samples, most often in burrows with remains of Clethrionomys glareolus and Apodemus sylvaticus.
