2500 strains of dermatophytes have been isolated in the town and country of Arad/Rumania in the period between 1956-1980. Trichophyton rubrum was isolated first in Rumania in 1956 by Ilea. At the time it represented only 3%, now 62,56% of the isolated strains. The other results see table 1. The fungi found in the town and county of Arad/Rumania are different from those isolated in Bukarest by I. Cojocaru. The nematode Eudiplogaster flagellicaudatus (Andrassy), a mycophage nematode, is important for the lifecycle of geophylic dermatophytes.
