We report an outbreak of dermatophytoses in rabbits, which was the origin of a dermatophytose epidemic in an agricultural school in central Portugal, affecting 15 people. Both the phenotypic characteristics and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence of the dermatophytes isolated from the rabbits and patients were identical, suggesting that a single strain was responsible for both the epizootic and epidemic dermatophytoses and confirming that these two outbreaks were linked. The ITS sequences were also 100% identical to the ITS sequence of five strains isolated from rabbits in Greece and Italy, but different from that of Trichophyton mentagrophytes commonly isolated from dogs and cats. These results suggest that a particular T. mentagrophytes genotype could be prevalent in rabbits in southern Europe.
我们报告了一起家兔皮肤癣菌病疫情，这是葡萄牙中部一所农业学校皮肤癣菌病流行的源头，有15人受到影响。从家兔和患者身上分离出的皮肤癣菌的表型特征和内部转录间隔区（ITS）序列均相同，这表明单一菌株导致了动物疫情和人类疫情中的皮肤癣菌病，并证实这两起疫情存在关联。ITS序列也与从希腊和意大利家兔身上分离出的五株菌株的ITS序列100%相同，但与通常从狗和猫身上分离出的须癣毛癣菌不同。这些结果表明，一种特定的须癣毛癣菌基因型可能在南欧的家兔中普遍存在。
