“…A multiplex PCR which can detect Trichophyton spp., Microsporum canis , and M. audouinii directly in clinical specimens has been developed. Random amplified polymorphic DNA, (RAPD)-PCR, has been used to differentiate M. canis isolates from different animal species, including wild foxes ( Vulpes vulpes ) [ 35 , 36 ]. Uniplex PCR-ELISA has also been utilized in the identification of M. canis [ 35 ].…”

“…The direct examination by wet mount using 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH), the isolation of fungus by culture, and routine histopathologic examinations supported by special histochemical stains such as PAS and CFW fluorescent stain (which offers the best detection of the organism) have all proved important in the diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis [ 35 ]. Other confirmatory tests, such as immunohistochemistry, PCR, ELISA, and electron microscopy, have all been used in synergy for the definitive diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis [ 35 , 43 ].…”

“…dermatitidis / gilchristii characteristically has conidiophores of varying lengths resembling “lollipops” [ 56 , 62 ]. A direct examination could also be performed using KOH followed by negative staining with a Diff-Quik staining kit [ 35 ]. Blastomyces is identified by its characteristics, which include a classic appearance of large, round, multinucleate yeast-like cells with thick and double refractile walls [ 56 , 63 ].…”

Wild animals are an important component of the ecosystem, and play a major role in it. However, in recent years, there has been an astronomical increase in the incidence of wildlife mycotic diseases leading to wildlife extermination. It is important to note that most of these mycotic diseases are zoonotic, and since there is a lot of attention given to zoonosis of a bacterial or viral origin in recent times, it is important to look into the mycotic diseases which may have zoonotic potential. Previously, the authors expatiated on some major wildlife mycotic diseases. In this review, we shed light on the etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, pathogenicity, macroscopic and microscopic pathology, and hematological and serum biochemical findings of dermatophytosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, and sporotrichosis, which are very important mycoses of wildlife.
