Really good start. I recall that this dermatophyte originated in Southeast Asia. It was uncommon in North America until the last 20 years, and now it's one of the most common agents of tinea capitis in children here. Perhaps you can find a reference for this. Where you note that this is a cause of institutional outbreaks, it may be worth mentioning that this is one of the few dermatophyte species that seems to be able to survive in dust and remain transmissible for long periods of time (I'm not sure I've read this but perhaps you can find the reference). Watch your spelling, Mycosel not Mycosal, ringworm not ring worm. Also I would say that its growth is enhanced in the presence of thiamine rather than it grows better. The vitamin test is on vitamin free Casamino acids agar with and without thiamine supplementation. The air that you have in the date field in one of the references is probably due to the template not liking the month. Medmyco (talk) 17:17, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
Peer Review edit
You have a lot of information! As mentioned by another classmate, you should probably use subheadings to make the information clear and easy to find. Also, watch out for the names you link to other pages, the ones highlighted red Mycosel Agar and BCP-milk solids glucose pages do not exist. Also I don't think it'd necessary to bold your fungus name twice in the first paragraph. KassF (talk) 01:05, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
