DETECTION	AND CHARACTERIZATION OF 			   MALASSEZIA SPECIES ISOLATED FROM DIFFERENT BODY SITES OF INTERMEDIATE PUPILS FROM SELECTED PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS OF LOWLAND CAVITE. Undergraduate Thesis, Bachelor of Science in Biology, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2011. Adviser: Ms. Sherine M.
