Malassezia in dogs.
Malassezia in dogs, or malassezia, is a disease caused by the Malassezia pachydermatis fungus that affects dogs and cats. This is a fungus that already lives in the body of these animals in a commensal form.
Although it is part of the animal's epidermal flora, in some animals it can proliferate in an uncontrolled way and cause skin diseases. Thus, seborrheic dermatitis may be accompanied by malassezia infection.
The malassezia fungus in dogs is often found in low amounts in the region around the lip and genitals, ears, groin, axillae, skin folds, interdigital space, in the vagina, and in the oral mucosa of several animals, causing no harm to them.
The factors that lead to this population growth seem to be related to changes in the skin microclimate, such as increased humidity and temperature, fat accumulation and rupture of the stratum corneum.
There are breeds that are genetically predisposed to malassezia, such as German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Shih Tzu, Dachshund, Poodle, Cocker Spaniel, and West Highland White Terrier.
