Abstract

To elucidate the distribution of mating type of Microsporum canis, originated from animals in Korea, a total of 272 strains of M. canis isolated from dogs and cats were mated with the tester strains of Nannizzia otae. Among 272 strains of M. canis examined, 217 strains(79.8%) were N. otae-, but none of strains showed+mating type. And 55 strains(20.0%) were reacted with neither N. otae+nor N. otae-.
