title: Confirmation of the nomenclatural status of Malassezia pachydermatis.
abstract: Malassezia strains from dogs and rhinoceros all proved identical using mole% G+C and nDNA/DNA reassociation experiments. The use of the name Malassezia pachydermatis, originally described for a strain isolated from a rhinoceros, is thus justified for non lipid-dependent strains of other sources.
