ABSTRACT:
Dermatophytes are fungi that can cause superficial infections of the skin, hair and nails
in humans and animals. The most frequent species of dermatophytes of dogs and cats
affected by mycoses are Microsporum gypseum and mainly Microsporum canis. The
crucial role during the infection process is the production of extracellular enzymes
essential for the invasion and establishment of the pathogen in the host tissue. The
use of organic plant extracts to control parasites is commonly considered an important
alternative. Caapeba Piper marginatum, as well as other species of the same
Piperaceae family, has been studied in the control of phytopathogens in agriculture, as
well as in the control of the malaria parasite, antifungal and antimicrobial activity. This
study aimed to review the literature on dermatophytosis and determine the antifungal
potential of Piper marginatum Jacq. against Microsporum gypseum
Keywords: Dermatophytosis; anti-fungii; extract; alternative control. |
