Asymptomatic carriage of dermatophytes by cats

Pages 67-69 | Received 19 May 1976, Published online: 23 Feb 2011
 

Summary

Dermatophytes were isolated from 38 of the 199 cats examined. There were 13 isolates of Microsporum canis, five isolates each of M. cookei and Trichophyton ajelloi and 15 isolates of T. terrestre. There were 11 isolates of the genus Chrysosporium, one of which proved to be Aphanoascus fulvescens. The need to distinguish between various dermatophyte species is emphasized, particularly those species that may occur as contaminants in clinical specimens.
