Abstract
Dermatophytosis is a cutaneous mycosis caused by keratinophilic fungi of the genera Microscoporum sp., Trichophyton sp. and Epidermophyton sp., which penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin, invading the scales of this layer, the hair and claws.Among these genera, the species Microsporum canis is the zoophilic dermatophyte most associated with mycoses in dogs and cats, and can also affect animals humans.Therefore, dermatophytosis is a zoonotic infection, that is, it affects both animals and humans.The disease is common in tropical and temperate climates, particularly in countries with hot and humid climatic conditions, with greater prevalence in the autumn and winter months.The objective of this work is to report a case of a dog, with no defined breed pattern, female, eleven months old and spayed, who presented alopecia in the neck region and the tip of the ear.
