Abstract
This study was performed to examine the distribution of dermatophytes in asymptomatic 454 dogs and 106 cats and in 19 dogs with skin lesions in Taegu The results obtained were summarized as follows ; The causative agent was identified a Microsporum(M) canis in 4 dogs with skin lesions. The isolation rates of dermatophytes were 10.1%(46/454) in asymptomatic dogs and 33.0%(35/106) in asymptomatic cats. The isolation rates of dermatophytes in dogs and cats were lower at house than that at pet cannel and animal care center, and that in females were higher than that in males. From dogs, 43(93.5%) of M canis and 3(6.5%) of M gypseum, and from cats, 33(94.2%) of M canis, 1(2.9%) of M gypseum and M nanum were isolated.
