The fungal kingdom comprises ubiquitous forms of life with 1.5 billion years, mostly phytopathogenic and commensals for humans and animals. However, in the presence of immune disorders, fungi may cause disease by intoxicating, infecting or sensitizing with allergy. Species from the genera , and , as well as dermatophytes from the genera , and , are the most commonly implicated in veterinary medicine. and stand as the most commonly associated with either allergy or infection in animals, immediately followed by , while dermatophytes are usually associated with the ringworm skin infection. By aiming at the relevance of fungi in veterinary allergy it was concluded that further research is still needed, especially in the veterinary field.
真菌界包含了存在了15亿年的无处不在的生命形式，其中大多数对人类和动物来说是植物病原体和共生菌。然而，在免疫功能紊乱的情况下，真菌可能通过中毒、感染或引发过敏反应而导致疾病。曲霉属、青霉属和念珠菌属的物种，以及毛癣菌属、小孢子菌属和表皮癣菌属的皮肤真菌，是兽医学中最常涉及的。曲霉属和青霉属在动物中最常与过敏或感染相关，紧随其后的是念珠菌属，而皮肤真菌通常与癣菌皮肤感染有关。针对真菌在兽医过敏中的相关性进行研究后得出结论，仍需要进一步研究，尤其是在兽医领域。
