We report cutaneous pythiosis in 2 dogs in Italy that had recurrent exposure to the same freshwater habitat. Phylogenetic analysis placed the isolates within Pythium insidiosum complex cluster IV, corresponding to P. periculosum. In Italy, pythiosis should be considered in differential diagnoses by human and veterinary health professionals.
我们报告了意大利的 2 只狗患复发性皮肤潜隐球虫病,这 2 只狗都曾反复接触同一淡水栖息地。系统发育分析将分离株定位于潜隐球虫复合群 IV 群,与棘球隐球酵母相对应。在意大利,人类和兽医健康专业人员在鉴别诊断时应考虑到潜隐球虫病。
