Wild animals are an important component of the ecosystem, and play a major role in it. However, in recent years, there has been an astronomical increase in the incidence of wildlife mycotic diseases leading to wildlife extermination. It is important to note that most of these mycotic diseases are zoonotic, and since there is a lot of attention given to zoonosis of a bacterial or viral origin in recent times, it is important to look into the mycotic diseases which may have zoonotic potential. Previously, the authors expatiated on some major wildlife mycotic diseases. In this review, we shed light on the etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, pathogenicity, macroscopic and microscopic pathology, and hematological and serum biochemical findings of dermatophytosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, and sporotrichosis, which are very important mycoses of wildlife.
野生动物是生态系统的重要组成部分，并在其中发挥着主要作用。然而，近年来，野生动物真菌病的发病率呈天文数字增长，导致野生动物灭绝。需要注意的是，这些真菌病大多是人畜共患病，鉴于近年来人们对细菌或病毒源性人畜共患病给予了大量关注，研究可能具有人畜共患潜力的真菌病很重要。此前，作者阐述了一些主要的野生动物真菌病。在本综述中，我们阐明了皮肤癣菌病、球孢子菌病、芽生菌病和孢子丝菌病的病因、流行病学、诊断、发病机制、致病性、大体和微观病理学以及血液学和血清生化检查结果，这些都是野生动物非常重要的真菌病。
