Dermatophytosis due to Trichophyton equinum – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1969731422

This is a clinical condition caused by fungal infection of the skin in humans. The term "ringworm" is a misnomer, since the condition is caused by fungi of several different species and not by parasitic worms. This diagnosis is due to the fungus genus trichophyton equinum.
