Abstract: (6953 Views)
Background and Aim: Identification of possible animal sources of infection is
applied for preventing the outbreak and progressive epidemics of infection. The
aim of present study is isolation of pathogenic and opportunistic fungi from the
skin of ownership dogs with emphasize on transmission risk of fungal zoonoses in
rural areas of Meshkin Shahr, Ardebil province of Iran.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was
performed in laboratory of Medical Mycology, School of Public Health, Tehran
University of Medical Sciences from April 2011 to November 2012. Hundred and
thirty dogs were studied. Collected scales and hair samples were examined by
direct smear and SC, SCC and DTM culture with the aim of full coverage of whole
fungal growth such as saprophytic and pathogenic fungi for 1-3 weeks.
Results: From 130 examined samples, Alternaria 41 (31.5%) as the most
frequent, Chaetomium 1 (0.9%) and Nattrassia 1 (0.9%) as the least frequent
saprophytic agents, were isolated from the samples.
Conclusion: The dogs in these areas are not the source of infection for
dermatophytosis and had no role in the epidemiology of the disease
