ROMULO PEREZ, Rosa Onidia; ZAMORA RODRIGUEZ, Zullyt B. e FERNANDEZ TORRES, Irán. Dermatophytes a zoonotic threat, general characteristics, clinical aspects for each species. Rev. CENIC Cienc. Biol [online]. 2022, vol.53, n.1, pp. 20-31. Epub 07-Mar-2022. ISSN 2221-2450.
Dermatophytes constitute an infection source for both animals and humans, representing zoonosis. The objective of this work was carry out an updated review on dermatophytes general characteristics, the clinical aspects of each infected animal species and their zoonotic potential. For this, all the published information available in PudMed database was compiled. This review describes the worldwide distribution of disease caused by dermatophytes, the zoonotic behavior of the disease, the physiopathogenic characteristics, linked to the host's immune response and oxidative stress behavior in bovine trichophytosis. On the other hand, the dermatophytes classification, different diagnostic methods, the macro and micro characteristics of the colonies of dermatophytes and their differentiation are exposed. It also addresses the form transmission of the disease and clinical aspects of disease in some animal species, including humans. Concluding that dermatophytes constitute a zoonosis, of great importance at present, therefore, they should be object of epidemiological surveillance considering the term of a single health. On the other hand, it is important to consider the economic losses caused by the infestation in cattle specifically.
