Abstract

One of the diseases that commonly affects dogs all around the world is dermatophytosis, a skin disease caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes. It is understand that dermatophytes can be found in both the tropics and non-tropics. The aim of this review was to explore the prevalence and causative agents of dermatophytosis in canine in different regions. Articles on canine dermatophytosis from Indonesia and a few other non-tropical countries were collected. The data obtained were tabulated and discussed descriptively. The results showed that Indonesia 27/60 (45%) had almost two-fold higher prevalence of canine dermatophytosis compared to the non-tropical countries 287/1,027 (27.95%) considered. Microsporum canis was the main causative species found in canine dermatophytosis positive in both the tropics and non-tropics, followed by Trichophyton sp. Following that, Microsporum gypseum was among the common species found to infect dogs in the non-tropical countries. Other dermatophyte species found in the non-tropics were Microsporum audouinii and Microsporum nanum. Results obtained from this retrospective study give an illustration on the difference in prevalence and causative agents of canine dermatophytosis in tropical and non-tropical countries.
