Abstract
A dermatomycosis of swine caused by Trichophyton verrucosum is reported. Trichophyton verrucosum could be identified in skin scrapings of pigs and contacting calves by fluorescence microscopy and culture. The mode of transmission and the rare isolation of Trichophyton verrucosum from pigs are discussed.
