Summary

Over a thirteen year period (1965 to 1977) a total of 4790 skin scrapings and hair samples of animals were examined mycologically. 887 strains of dermatophytes were isolated out of 885 of these samples (=18,5%). Most frequently Trichophyton verrucosum was identified in samples from cattle, followed by Microsporum canis isolated from cats, dogs and zoo animals. T. mentagrophytes was mainly found on guinea pigs, chinchillas and dogs and T. equinum on horses. Although the total number of the samples examined within the last 8 years increased, the total of the dermatophytes isolated remained proportionately the same. The relative numbers of the various species of dermatophytes isolated did not change within the period of investigation.

Abstract

In dem 13-jährigen Untersuchungszeitraum (1965–1977) kamen insgesamt 4790 Hautgeschabsel und Haarproben zur mykologischen Untersuchung. In 885 dieser Proben (=18,5%) wurden 887 Dermatophyten nachgewiesen. Am häufigsten wurde Trichophyton verrucosum aus Hautmaterial vom Rind isoliert, gefolgt von Microsporum canis von Katze, Hund und Zootieren, T. mentagrophytes von Meerschweinchen, Chinchilla und Hund sowie T. equinum vom Pferd. Trotz steigender Untersuchungszahlen in den letzten acht Jahren blieb die Summe aller Dermatophytennachweise in den einzelnen Jahren weitgehend gleich; auch innerhalb der verschiedenen Spezies waren Tendenzen nicht festzustellen.
