“…M. gypseum and T. mentagrophytes are less frequently isolated [8,13,14]. Although M. canis is not part of the regular microbiota of the integument of cats, these are considered natural reservoirs of this fungus species [15]. Transmission occurs by direct contact with contaminated fomites or by exposure to environments that host spores [16,17].…”

Skin is an organ that covers the body and acts as a protective layer against external aggressions. Changes in this organ, such as hair loss, evident blemishes, changes in skin pigmentation, and the presence of scaling or crusts, are the main signs of dermatological disease. The study aimed to verify the frequency of dermatophytes and yeasts in healthy cats and dogs. Samples of hair and shedding from 30 cats and 30 dogs were cultured on dermatophyte test medium and Sabouraud Dextrose agar enriched with yeast extract, thiamine, antibiotics (streptomycin and chloramphenicol) supplemented with cycloheximide and incubated at 25°C and 35°C for 10 days. The positive cultures were assessed macro and microscopically, and the fungi were identified by biochemical methods. It was found that 100% of the cats had a positive mycological culture for Microsporum canis, 33.33% for Microsporum gypseum, and 50% for Trichophyton mentagrophytes, with a prevalence of Microsporum canis (P>0.001). In dogs, 86.66% were positive for Microsporum canis, showing a predominance over the other fungal species (P<0.001). Malassezia pachydermatis was isolated in 50% of the dogs evaluated, although it was not found in cats, while positive cultures for Malassezia spp were found in 6.6% of cats and 26.66% of dogs. Candida albicans was isolated in samples of dogs and cats (26.66% and 33.33%, respectively). It was concluded that asymptomatic dogs and cats are carriers of agents of dermatophytosis and dermatomycoses and may be important sources of environmental spread and intra and interspecific infection.

A população de animais no Brasil em 2022 representou aproximadamente 167 milhões de animais. O objetivo do estudo foi fornecer informações e relatar como os estudantes compreendem os cuidados básicos com pequenos animais, abordando temas como higiene, alimentação, saúde bucal e dermatológica dos pets. A metodologia foi dividida em duas etapas: a primeira consistiu em um estudo bibliográfico e preparação de material didático, enquanto a segunda envolveu palestras e oficinas nas escolas, seguidas pela aplicação de questionários para avaliar o conhecimento dos estudantes antes e depois das atividades educativas (Chaer et al., 2012). Os resultados mostraram um aumento significativo na retenção de conhecimento pelos alunos após as palestras, evidenciando a eficácia das intervenções educativas. O estudo concluiu que a educação em saúde animal é fundamental para promover o bem-estar dos animais e sensibilizar a população desde a infância sobre a importância dos cuidados básicos com os pets.
