Tests for myococarriers were made on 4.297 wild small mammals. Clinical examinations only were carried out on 1,204 animals, both clinical and laboratory examinations on 3,093 animals. The suppurative form of trichophytosis was diagnosed in only one specimen of Microtus oeconomus out of 1,204 animals examined. T. ectothrix microides was found in the hair taken from the focus. T. mentagrophytes var. gypseum was obtained by culture on nutrient media. No clinical signs of mycosis were found in 3,093 animals, but seeding of the hair 175 animals (5.65%) on Sabouraud's agar with chlortetracycline and acti-dione produced cultures of T. mentagrophytes var. gypseum. The fungus was most frequently isolated in clinically healthy water rats, common field voles and field mice (Arvicola terrestris, Microtus arvalis, Apodemus agrarius). Mycocarriers were most frequently found among small mammals living in corn fields (5.9%), less frequently in water meadows (0.9) and sporadically in forests and bushes (0.1%). The possibility of bringing mycocarriers from the fields into inhabited areas during the transport of forage was reported.
对4297只野生小型哺乳动物进行了真菌携带者检测。仅对1204只动物进行了临床检查，对3093只动物进行了临床和实验室检查。在接受检查的1204只动物中，仅在1只田鼠身上诊断出化脓性毛癣菌病。从病灶处采集的毛发中发现了微小外毛癣菌。通过在营养培养基上培养获得了石膏样毛癣菌变种。在3093只动物中未发现真菌病的临床症状，但在含有金霉素和放线菌酮的沙氏琼脂上对175只动物（5.65%）的毛发进行接种培养出了石膏样毛癣菌变种。该真菌最常从临床健康的水鼠、普通田鼠和田鼠（水田鼠、草原田鼠、黑线姬鼠）中分离出来。真菌携带者在生活在玉米地的小型哺乳动物中最为常见（5.9%），在水草甸中较少见（0.9%），在森林和灌木丛中偶尔出现（0.1%）。报告了在运输饲料过程中将真菌携带者从田地带入居民区的可能性。
