Abstract
Cross-Sectional Study on Dermatological Affections of Companion Animals Caused by Dermatophytes and other Keratinophilic Fungi in Greater Cairo Area, Egypt
Highlights
Abstract | The colonization of fungal organisms on different parts of the integumentary system of a wide range of animal species is very common as a part of normal dermal mycobiota or through infection
Most of the fungal species that have been recovered from the companion animals in the present study zoonotic and constitute a human public health hazard

Summary
Abstract | The colonization of fungal organisms on different parts of the integumentary system of a wide range of animal species is very common as a part of normal dermal mycobiota or through infection. The present cross-sectional study has been designed to determine the diversity of fungal species that are associated with different dermatological affections in companion animals, including dogs, cats, parrots, horses, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, donkeys, cows, and goats. Cross-sectional study on dermatological affections of companion animals caused by dermatophytes and other keratinophilic fungi in greater cairo area, egypt. Dermatomycosis is one of those neglected zoonotic diseases transmitted from animals to humans It is caused by various fungal species that extend from the zoophilic fungi M.canis to different yeast causes, including C.albicans, non-albicans candidae, and Malassezia pachydermatis. The latter species is the only lipophilic Malassezia spp. A wide range of animal species have been incorporated in this human/animal companionship, and their relationships with human societies have been significantly increased
