Abstract

A case of ringworm in a 2-year-old male Dachshund caused by Trichophyton rubrum is described. The owner of this dog had tinea pedis probably caused by the same fungus. The authors believe that this is the first authenticated case of T. rubrum infection in a dog recorded in Japan, the infection probably having been acquired from man.
