Abstract
The first cases in the United States of swine infections caused by the fungus Microsporum nanum are reported. The infections occurred in a herd of Yorkshire swine in Pennsylvania. The dermatophyte, which readily produced experimental infections, was identified by isolation and studies in pure cultures.Keywords
