Abstract
A dermatophyte isolated from the Central African hedgehog was at first identified as an atypical strain of Trichophyton erinacei (Smith & Marples) Padhye & Carmichael. A detailed study of its morphology, physiology and mating behaviour revealed that it was Arthroderma benhamiae Ajello & Cheng. A comparison of the morphology of A. benhamiae and T. erinacei is made and the relationship between these species is discussed briefly. Un dermatophyte isolé d'un hérisson d'Afrique Centrale a d'abord été identifié comme une souche atypique de Trichophyton erinacei (Smith & Marples) Padhye & Carmichael. Une étude détaillée de sa morphologie, de sa physiologie et de sa reproduction sexuée a révélé qu'il s'agit d'Arthroderma benhamiae Ajello & Cheng. La comparaison entre la morphologie de A. benhamiae et celle de T. erinacei est présentée et la relation entre les deux espèces est discutée brièvement.Keywords
