| description | <b>Aim: </b>The aim of this study was to determine and identify
the dermatophytosis of hair samples taken from Mackenzie's
toothbrush technique from cats and dogs without any
symptoms in terms of dermatophytosis.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> In our study, the whole body was
scanned and hair samples were taken with totthbrush from
a total of 120 animals, including 60 cats and 60 dogs. It was
examined in light microscope using Potassium Hydroxide
(KOH) for direct microscopy. After 3 weeks of incubation in
Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) and Dermatophyte selective
medium (DTM), colony morphologies were examined macroscopically.
After that, microscopy was performed using lactophenol
cotton blue and cellophane tape method.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Dermatophytosis agents were isolated and identified
in 25.5% of dogs and 30% of cats in total in 27.5% of the
samples. Cat and Dogs. Microsporum spp. (16%) was isolated
from Trichophyton spp. (10.8%). When the findings were
examined in terms of gender, 34.37% of female cats and 25%
of male cats and 34.28% of male cats in female cats were isolated
from dermatophytosis.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> It was observed that the potential transport of
dermatophyte agent is frequently present in the skin and
feathers of cats and dogs without any clinical findings. Due
to the zoonotic character, it was concluded that it would be
beneficial to inform the animal owners about this subject in
close contact with cats and dogs. |
