skin colonization by malassezia species in healthy neonatal calves and their dams

Skin diseases associated with Malassezia species.

The yeasts of the genus Malassezia have been associated with a number of diseases affecting the human skin, such as pityriasis versicolor, Malassezia (Pityrosporum) folliculitis, seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and--less commonly--with other dermatologic disorders such as confluent and reticulated papillomatosis, onychomycosis, and transient acantholytic dermat...

Isolation and Differentiation of Malassezia Species Isolated from Healthy and Affected Small Animals, Ear and Skin

The genus Malassezia is part of the indigenous mycoflora of the mucosa and skin of healthy cats and dogs, Otherwise, it is able to survive in the environment only for short periods In addition, their importance as emergent pathogens in humans is increasing because they have been identified as causative agents of sepsis in immunocompromised patients and neonates receiving parenteral lipid alimen...

Genus Malassezia species isolation and identification in healthy dogs

The aim of the study was the isolation of genus Malassezia species in healthy dogs, and their identification since there are ten known species and their number increases every year. Dixon medium is considered to be the best for Malassezia isolation, and the results of the study proved to be so. Of all the 74 Malassezia strains isolated, 71 were M. pachydermatis, 2 M. furfur and one M. globosa. ...

distribution of malassezia species on healthy human skin in bosnia and herzegovina: correlation with body part, age and gender.

the genus malasezia currently includes fourteen species that have been isolated from healthy and diseased human and animal skin. however, there were differences with respect to the species most commonly isolated, not only in patients with various skin diseases but also between healthy individuals. the aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of malassezia species from clinically normal s...

Detection and identification of Malassezia species in domestic animals and aquatic birds by PCR-RFLP

The present study aimed at detection and species-level identification of the Malassezia yeasts in domestic animals and aquatic birds by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Samples were collected using tape strips and swabs from 471 animals including 97 horses, 102 cattle, 105 sheep, 20 camels, 60 dogs, 30 cats, 1 hamster, 1 squirrel, 50 aquatic birds a...
