In catteries with a long-standing problem of dermatophytosis, Microsporum canis was the sole fungal isolate from all cats, regardless of clinical signs. Fungal isolates from cats in catteries with an early problem of M. canis infection (less than 30 days) consisted of M. canis mixed with saprophytic fungi, fewer cats with pure M. canis cultures and individual cats that were culture negative for M. canis. When these catteries were resampled at a later date, M. canis was the only fungus isolated from all cats. In catteries with no history of dermatophytosis, M. canis was never isolated and the fungal isolates were similar to those found previously in pet cats. No significant differences in age, sex, or hair length was found between the M. canis-infected and M. canis-free cats.
在存在长期皮肤癣菌病问题的猫舍中，犬小孢子菌是所有猫身上分离出的唯一真菌，无论其临床症状如何。在犬小孢子菌感染早期（少于30天）的猫舍中，从猫身上分离出的真菌包括犬小孢子菌与腐生真菌混合，纯犬小孢子菌培养的猫较少，还有个别猫犬小孢子菌培养呈阴性。当这些猫舍在之后重新采样时，犬小孢子菌是从所有猫身上分离出的唯一真菌。在没有皮肤癣菌病病史的猫舍中，从未分离出犬小孢子菌，分离出的真菌与之前在宠物猫身上发现的真菌相似。在感染犬小孢子菌的猫和未感染犬小孢子菌的猫之间，未发现年龄、性别或毛发长度有显著差异。
