Dermatophytes were isolated from 38 of the 199 cats examined. There were 13 isolates ofMicrosporum canis, five isolates each ofM. cookeiandTrichophyton ajelloiand 15 isolates ofT. terrestre. There were 11 isolates of the genusChrysosporium, one of which proved to beAphanoascus fulvescens. The need to distinguish between various dermatophyte species is emphasized, particularly those species that may occur as contaminants in clinical specimens.
