  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The occurrence of ringworm, or dermatomycosis, in wild animals has been rarely reported. DeLamater (1939) described infections of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Trichophyton mentagrophytes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;in common gray squirrels on and near the Johns Hopkins University campus at Baltimore. Errington (1942) and Charles (1946) reported on the occurrence of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;T. mentagrophytes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 35 of 364 litters (9.6%) of muskrats (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ondatra zibethicus zibethicus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) in northwestern Iowa. Ninety-eight of 134 members (73%) of infected litters were recorded as contracting the fungus disease; of the 98, 90 died. Paul (1917), Lawrence (1918), and Connor (1932) mentioned ringworm epidemics of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;T. mentagrophytes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;among mice in wheat stacks of New South Wales and Victoria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
