The article offers a literature review of the detection of keratinophilic fungi, including dermatophytes, in the soils of Australia and New Guinea from 1955 to 1960. It says that several fungi were isolated from 712 soil samplings including Tricophyton terrestre, Aleurisma keratinophylum, and Ctenomyces serratus.
