Ophidiomycosis (snake fungal disease) is the most common cause of skin lesions in free-ranging snakes in North America. Naturally infected snakes with ophidiomycosis (9 carcasses, 12 biopsies) were examined grossly and histologically. These cases comprised 32% of the 66 snake cases submitted to the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative-Ontario/Nunavut Node in 2012 through 2018. Affected species included the eastern foxsnake ( = 15, gray ratsnake = , eastern massasauga = 2, and queensnake = 1. Severity of disease varied widely from mild microscopic skin lesions to fatal, necrotizing, and ulcerative facial lesions. Key clinical message: Ophidiomycosis should be the primary differential diagnosis for skin lesions in wild snakes, particularly in southern Ontario.
蛇真菌病（ophidiomycosis）是北美的自由放养蛇类中最常见的皮肤病变原因。对患有蛇真菌病的自然感染蛇（9 具尸体，12 个活检）进行了大体和组织学检查。这些病例占 2012 年至 2018 年期间提交给加拿大野生动物健康合作组织-安大略省/努纳武特节点的 66 例蛇病例的 32%。受影响的物种包括东部狐蛇（ = 15 条，灰色鼠蛇 = ，东部马萨诸塞蛇 = 2 条，女王蛇 = 1 条。疾病的严重程度差异很大，从轻微的显微镜下皮肤病变到致命的、坏死的和溃疡性面部病变。关键临床信息：蛇真菌病应是野生蛇类皮肤病变的主要鉴别诊断，特别是在安大略省南部。
