N2 - Efforts have been made to induce protective immunity to the infections caused by dermatophytes, Candida, and Malassezia. The following conclusions can be drawn from the studies reviewed. 1. The research directed toward the management of dermatophyte infections by vaccination have yielded a promising vaccine for prevention of T. verrucosum infections in cattle. 2. A number of investigators have attempted, by various methods and with different immunogenic preparations, to prevent superficial mucocutaneous candidiasis. The results of those investigations do not indicate that a vaccine for prophylaxis of this disease is forthcoming. 3. No vaccination attempts for prevention of pityriasis versicolor have been described.
