![]() However, the fungal aetiology of tinea was first detected by Robert Remak, a Polish physician who first observed the presence of hyphae in the crusts of favus. In 1806, Alibert used the term ‘favus’ to describe the honey-like exudate in some scalp infections. Due to similarity in the structure of circular lesion of dermatophytosis on the smooth skin with the circular hole made by moth, Cassius Felix introduced the term ‘tinea’ to describe the lesions. The keratin-destroying moths which made circular holes in the woollen garments are known as Tinea. Throughout the middle ages, several descriptions of dermatophytosis were produced where it is described as ‘tinea’. The first description of dermatophytosis was recorded by Celsus, a Roman encyclopaedist who described a suppurative infection of scalp (‘porrigo’ or ‘kerion of Celsus’) in De Re Medicina (30 A.D.). Gentles (1958) established the successful treatment of tinea capitis with griseofulvin. Emmons (1934) first reported the classification of dermatophytes based on vegetative structures and conidia. The sexual state of dermatophyte was described by Nannizzi (1927). Raymond Jacques Adrien Sabouraud (France) first compiled the description of Trichophyton in his book ( Les Teignes) in 1910 which was based on his observation in artificial culture. equinum was identified by Matruchot and Dassonville in 1898. The genus Trichophyton was created and described by Malmsten (1845) with its representative species T. ![]() In 1844, Gruby described the etiologic agent of tinea endothrix, later became known as Trichophyton tonsurans. He observed the infectious nature of the favus by autoinoculation into his own hands and also successfully isolated the fungus later (1945) and named Achorion schoenleinii ( Trichophyton schoenleinii) in honour of his mentor. ![]() Remak gave all the credits of his discovery to his mentor Schoenlein who first published the fungal etiological report of favus in 1839. He himself did not publish his work, but he permitted the reference of his observations in a dissertation by Xavier Hube in 1837. This detection is also a landmark in medical history because this is the first description of a microbe causing a human disease. Six of them have never been found.The first description of dermatophytosis was recorded by Celsus, a Roman encyclopaedist who described a suppurative infection of scalp (‘porrigo’ or ‘kerion of Celsus’) in De Re Medicina (30 A.D.). The reservoir has been called the Bermuda Triangle of New Jersey, and over 26 people have drowned there since 1971. The park also has a wilderness area for camping, swimming and SCUBA diving facilities, a boat ramp and nature hiking and biking trails. ![]() Some of the other species of fish in the lake include bass, pickerel, catfish, american eel, yellow perch, brown trout, and rainbow trout. ![]() This is one of only two lakes in New Jersey with lake trout, the other being Merrill Creek Reservoir in Warren County. The New Jersey Division of Wildlife (a department of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection) claims the reservoir is the southernmost body of water that contains naturally reproducing lake trout. Its water is distributed during times of drought via the nearby south branch of the Raritan River. The reservoir contains 55 billion US gallons (210,000,000 m 3 ) of water for use in central New Jersey, making it the largest in the state. Reaching depths of 180 feet (55 m), this 2,350 acres (9.5 km 2 ) reservoir is best known for its pristine clear blue waters. ![]()
