Dermatomycosis, or surface mycosis, refers to fungal diseases in which fungi infect the epidermis and its accessory structures (hair, horns, and claws). There are many types of pathogenic fungi, but the main cause of skin mycosis in Huskies is Microsporum canis. Sometimes Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton verrucosum and Microsporum gypsum can also be isolated. Dermatophytes are extremely resistant to external factors, especially dryness.

When exposed to sunlight or at 0C, it can survive for several months. Fungi attached to dander on kennel equipment, posts, etc. can still maintain their infectivity even after 5 years. However, the fungi in the bedding and soil can be eliminated by other biological factors. Only the younger Microsporum gypsum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, etc. can reproduce in the soil. The spread of canine dermatomycosis is mainly through contact between animals or through contaminated objects. When the number of dogs is large and dense, it can also be transmitted through the air. External parasites, such as lice, fleas, flies, mites, etc., also play an important role in the transmission of L. In addition, house mice and mice play a certain role in the spread of Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and soil plays a role in the spread of gypsum-like Microsporidiosis.

These pathogenic bacteria are widely found in soil, animal feces, and milk. Dogs are mainly infected through contact with contaminated soil or through the respiratory tract and digestive tract. Only a few fungi are contagious through contact. Deep mycosis can occur in various organs in the body, and its lesions are characterized by: granulomatous inflammation, necrosis, abscesses, ulcers, fistulas, connective tissue hyperplasia, and nodule formation.
