Abstract.

Screening forest soil nematodes for associated fungi by PCR, and sequencing the internal transcribed spacer detected the human, and other mammals, pathogenic fungus Malassezia in association with soil nematodes for the first time in Europe. Malassezia restricta and M. globosa were associated with the nematode genus Malenchus sp., whereas another nematode, Tylolaimophorus typicus hosted only M. restricta.
