The genus Microsporum was an important kind of the pathogenic dermatophytes. They could be di-vided into three types, geophilic, anthropophilic and zoophilic. It has strong propagation, susceptibility to in-fection, and keratinophilic features. This article summarized the taxonomic history, pathogenic mechanism and application value of the genus Microsporum. The kind of fungi was found that they have potential applica-tion value and research significance in these fields such as biological control, industry, environmental protec-tion.%小孢子菌属(Microsporum)是一类重要的皮肤病原真菌,可分为亲土、亲人和亲动物性,具有强繁殖、易感染、嗜角蛋白等特性.本文从该属的分类进展、致病概况和应用价值三个方面阐述其研究进展,讨论其在生物防治、工业和环保方面具有潜在应用价值.
