The overall draft has an organized flow of rich information, well done! Some facts can be added to the article and organized as below.

-	[Growth and Morphology]

•	Morphology can be organized in 2 categories: microscopic characteristics & colony characteristics.

•	Furthermore, detailed growth can be derived from microscopic characteristics, for example, the structure of macroconidia and how they are produced from hyphae.

-	[Infection] (suggested flow)

1.	Global distribution

2.	Identify hosts (host and alternative host)

3.	Causal diseases

4.	Susceptible population (children, male)

-	[Spread]

•	“produce resistant arthroconidia in skin scales that remain viable for long periods of time, thick arthroconidia wall, more resistant to drying and heat than mycelium [7] – pic p237” may belong to the category “Infection”

•	flow: 1. State conditions that aid thriving of the fungi. 2. Give examples (sheets, pools, towels…) 3. Spread by contact. 4. Species turnover (replaced by T. rubrum)

-	[Clinical demonstration]

1.	Inflammatory/ non-inflammatory

2.	Disease + morphology of lesions

3.	Treatment (antifungal agents, systemic therapy)
