• The most common anthropophilic (humans are the primary host) species are Trichophyton tonsurans and T. rubrum.
• The most common causative zoophilic agents worldwide are T. mentagrophytes (rodents, rabbits, dogs, and horses), Trichophyton verrucosum (cattle), and Microsporum canis (cats and dogs).
