Pathogenicity and Distribution: Trichophyton tonsurans is a cosmopolitan (found worldwide) dermatophyte (a fungus of skin, nails or hair). It is the etiologic agent most frequently implicated in âringwormâ infections of the scalp (Tinea capitis) in America. Causes an endothrix infection of the hair (penetrates hair shaft to grow within). T.tonsurans is anthropophilic (prefers humans to animals) however sources vary on its infectivity.
The Solanaceae, or nightshades, are an economically important family of flowering plants. The family ranges from annual and perennial herbs to vines, lianas, epiphytes, shrubs, and trees, and includes a number of important agricultural crops, medicinal plants, spices, weeds, and ornamentals.
Members of the family Solanaceae, common nightshades include white (but not sweet) potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers, both the eye-watering chilies and the sweeter bell peppers.ne theory has to do with Vitamin D. Thereâs a lot of evidence from animals indicating that nightshade vegetables cause all kinds of joint and bone problems, mostly because of the way the animalsâ bodies process the form of Vitamin D in the nightshades.
