Abstract
Dermatophytosis is a common dermatological infection, affecting humans, pets, domestic ruminants and wild animals. It is a cause for concern as it represents a risk to public and animal health. The aim of this study was to describe the occurrence of dermatophyte infection in wild mammals (road-killed and hunted) in Portugal. Fungal isolation was performed on the fur and scales of 101 wild mammals. Based on the observation of microstructures and colony morphology, fungal isolates were identified to the genus level. Dermatophytes were found in two of the 10 studied species: 3/51 (5.9%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.0–12.3%) red fox (Vulpes vulpes), and 5/19 (2.6%; 95% CI: 0.0–9.8%) Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon). These species represent different taxonomic families: Canidae and Viverridae and it is therefore important to infer the role of infection in these animals studied for dermatophytosis.
期刊介绍：
The goal of the journal is to provide an international platform for the publication of articles in the fields of veterinary and animal sciences, and biotechnology. The content of the journal is particularly dedicated to veterinary practitioners, but also to veterinary scientists and university professors, to encourage them to share their knowledge and experience on this platform. Manuscripts submitted to the journal may include: original scientific papers, review articles, short communications, professional articles, case reports, conference reports and literary records and reviews of new book either in Croatian or English languages.
