[[Dermatophytes]] may be classified according to [[Genus|genera]], mode of transmission and disease patterns. [[Dermatophytes]] of the [[Genus|genera]] [[Trichophyton|''Trichophyton'']] and [[Microsporum|''Microsporum'']] are the most common causative agents.  
A number of different species of fungi are involved. Dermatophytes of the genera Trichophyton and Microsporum are the most common causative agents. These fungi attack various parts of the body and lead to the conditions listed below.

===Classification Based Upon Causative Fungi===
=== Classification based on genera ===
Based upon their genera, [[dermatophytes]] can be classified into three groups: 
* ''[[Trichophyton]]'' (which causes [[infections]] of the [[skin]], [[hair]], and [[Nail (anatomy)|nails]])
* [[Epidermophyton|''Epidermophyton'']] (which causes [[Infection|infections]] of the [[skin]] and [[Nail (anatomy)|nails]])
* ''[[Microsporum]]'' (which causes [[Infection|infections]] of the [[skin]] and [[hair]])


Dermatophytosis
=== Classification based on mode of transmission ===
* Tinea pedis (athlete's foot) affects the feet
Based upon mode of transmission, these have been classified as:
* Tinea unguium affects the fingernails and toenails
* Anthrophillic
* Tinea corporis affects the arms, legs, and trunk
* [[Zoophilic]]
* Tinea cruris (jock itch) affects the groin area
* [[Geophilic]]
* Tinea manuum affects the hands and palm area

Overview

Dermatophytes may be classified according to genera, mode of transmission and disease patterns. Dermatophytes of the genera Trichophyton and Microsporum are the most common causative agents.

Classification

Dermatophytes may be classified according to various schemes.[1][2]

Classification based on genera

Based upon their genera, dermatophytes can be classified into three groups: 

Classification based on mode of transmission

Based upon mode of transmission, these have been classified as:

Anthrophilic species Zoophilic species Geophilic species
E. floccossum M. canis E. stockdaleae
M. audouinii M. equinum M. amazonicum
M. concentricum T. gallinae Microsporum anamorph of A. cookiellum
T. gourvilli M. persicolor M. boullandii
T. kanei T. equinum M. cookei
T. meginii T. mentagrophytes M. gypseum
T. mentagrophytes T. sarkisorii M. nanum
T. raubitsschekii T. simii M. praecox
T. rubrum T. verrucosum M. racemosum
T. schoenleinii M. ripariae
T. soudanese M. vanbreuseghemii
T. tonsurans T. ajelloi
T. violaceum T. flavescens
T. yaoundei T. longifusum
T. gloriae
T. phaseoliforme
T. vanbreuseghemii
T. terrestre

Classification based on disease patterns

Dermatophytosis may be classified into the following types based on disease patterns:
