Abstract
The present study determined the prevalence of dermatophytes in 101 young cats with and without skin lesions, in eight pet shops using a culture method. Dermatophytes were detected in four cats (4.0%), suggesting that the prevalence of dermatophytes is not high among pet shop young cats in Japan. Only one of the four cats with dermatophytes showed a cutaneous lesion. All of the isolated dermatophytes were identified as Microsporum canis by direct sequencing of amplicons obtained from PCR targeting the region including ITS-1 of the rRNA gene.
