Resumen:
In order to determine the presence of dermatophytes in healthy skin, 200 animals from the animal house of Faculty of Medicine, U.N.A.M., were studied; these were 50 rats, 50 rabbits, 50 mice, and 50 guinea pigs. Out of these 200 animals, 29.5% had positive isolation of Trichophyton mentagrophytes, var. lacticolor. The frequency variation was: rats, 68%; rabbits, 36%; mice, 8%; and guinea pigs, 6%. Male rats and male rabbits, had the higher incidence of positives. The epidemiologic repercussion of these and the significance to use these animals in biomedical investigation is discussed. © 1984 Dr W. Junk Publishers.
