Tkyw (talk) 00:07, 31 October 2019 (UTC)TKYW don't forget to link the articles like Microsporum hypseum also for some reason Arthrodermataceae isn't linked[reply]

History and taxonomy when you say was thought to be microsporum gypseum does this mean, was thought to be the same as microsporum gypseum until it became a seperate species

Growth and morphology great description and summary! It's nice that it mentions how it can be mistaken for microsporum gypseum

Habitat and ecology

infects hair specifically keratins then next point can be about hair from horse the cleistothecia point

as well, geophillic should be mentioned when you say it can grow on soil I think or like second point after world wide distribution

Also after world wide distribution, should mention islated before in Canada, use, Germany, Spain, France, Gabon, Iran etc as that way the geographic stuff is all together.

Pathogenic

What do you mean by similar species that is non-pathogenic, similar in genes?

Treatment

Is terbinafine (link this) common and why is it important to mention that it cleared infection in Iran, like commonly used to clear infection in Iran?

Great headers by the way

Peer Review Comments

Consider adding a catchy lead section at the top. You’ve done a good job organizing your information under the suggested headings. At first glance there almost seems to be too many of them, maybe merge reproduction with growth/morphology? Ultimately it is up to you if you think it’s less confusing that way, I see the other reviewer DID like them, so maybe it’s just me. Good job on filling out the taxobox and synonyms. I would consider adding in a picture (if you can find one) of your fungus. Try looking up more papers tied to the synonymous names for your fungi if you need more information, I’ve included some below. You seem to use a neutral tone throughout the piece, which is good! It’s good to see you have a few books in your references, as those are usually more reliable. The information from your sources seems to be true and accurate but they are organized in a truly confounding manner. Definitely try to link some other wiki articles through any terms or scientific nomenclature that may be confusing (ex. dermatophyte, macroleuriospores, asci, etc). Overall, try to add more substance/information to your page. A possibly helpful source: Toward a Novel Multilocus Phylogenetic Taxonomy for the Dermatophytes https://link-springer-com.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/article/10.1007%2Fs11046-016-0073-9 very little in this, but some general information about Nannizzia fulva Esotericorangepeel (talk) 23:26, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Great article and very good details. Here are a few suggestions!

For your table, make sure to reference where your synonyms came from. This helps the user understand where they can find more references on your fungus.

You should talk about why your fungus was thought to be Microsporum gypseum. Is it because of the morphological appearances? Sequencing?

Reproduction should go under Growth and morphology because reproduction is part of growth. Otherwise, good job with Growth and morphology.

For ecology, you should go into the function of this fungus in its environment. Does it help break down plant debris to nourish the soil? A good place to look for ecological roles of your fungus is Fungi: Ecological Importance and Impact on Humans.

You can combine pathogenicity, treatment and prevention, and detection all into one category: "Disease". It would be ideal to list a case from beginning to end. Ex. detection to the manifestation of symptoms to treatment.

Try to properly format your references. You can view Dr. Scott's example code and trouble shoot from there. Great use of books and lots of facts; however, you do not have 42 listed references in your article. Make sure you sort the references and citations properly.

I made some repairs to your sandbox in order that your references render properly. A couple references you might consider looking at for this fungus include

Laboratory Handbook of Dermatophytes, J. Kane, R. C. Summerbell, et al., Star Publishing, Belmont CA, 1996, ISBN 978-0-89863-157-9
Dr. Summerbell's chapter on dermatophytes in: Karen C. Carroll, Michael A. Pfaller, Marie Louise Landry, Alexander J. McAdam, Robin Patel, Sandra S. Richter, David W. Warnock (eds). 2019. Manual of Clinical Microbiology, Twelfth Edition. ASM Press, ISBN : 9781555819835
Dr. Summerbell may also have some other suggestions.
