A Case of Trichophyton mentagrophytes Infection in RabbitsAccompanied by Farm Staff Infection in China

Trichophyton (T.) mentagrophytes tavşanlarda yüksek oranda gözlemlenen yaygın bir mantar enfeksiyonu olup enfekte hayvanlarla temas halindeki insanlarda da gözlemlenen klasik zoonotik bir enfeksiyondur. Tavşan çiftliklerinde çoğu vaka doğru teşhis edilemeyip bakım ve tedavi masrafları sebebiyle önemli ekonomik kayıpların oluşmasına neden olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Çin'de büyük ölçekli bir tavşan çiftliğindeki tavşanlarda ve çiftlik çalışanlarında gözlemlenen oldukça bulaşıcı bir deri hastalığı salgını incelendi. Hastalığın rutin fiziksel muayene ile tanısı konuldu ve hastalığın etiyolojisi fungal kültür, ribozomal internal transkript spacer (ITS+) ve kitin sentaz-1 gen sekansları ile T. mentagrophytes olarak belirlendi. Bugüne kadar Çin'de tavşanlarda ve çiftlik çalışanlarında aynı zamanlı olarak tespit edilen Dermatomycoses enfeksiyonuna dair bir rapor bulunmamaktadır. Bu vakada etiyoloji gelişmiş moleküler teknik, klinik, mikrobiyolojik ve hastalığın histolojik yapısı ile tanımlandı

Çin'de Çiftlik Çalışanları ile Birlikte Tavşanlarda Trichophyton mentagrophytes Enfeksiyonu Olgusu

Trichophyton (T.) mentagrophytes is common tineas infection with high incidence in rabbits and also a classical zoonotic infection in people exposed to infected animals. However, many cases never got a correct diagnosis, let alone considerable management and treatment, which could cause certain economic losses in rabbit farms. An outbreak of a highly contagious skin disease infecting rabbits and accompanying all farm staff on a large scale rabbit farm in China was investigated. The disease was diagnosed by routine physical examinations, and the etiology of the disease was identified as T. mentagrophytes by fungal culture, sequence of ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS+) and chitin synthase-1 gene (pchs-1). To date, there is no report of Dermatomycoses infection in rabbits accompanied by farm staff infection in mainland China. In this case, the etiology is identified by using advanced molecular techniques and clinical, microbiological aspects and the histological features of the infection are described
