Abstract
Chrysosporium tropicum was isolated from comb lesions in two different breeds of chickens in India and subcultures were shown to be pathogen ic when inoculated onto prepared skin of guinea pigs. This report prov ides additional evidence to consider Ch. tropicum as a pathogenic fung us and a probable cause of a dermatomycosis in chickens.
