In a study of 63 cases of canine gastrointestinal phycomycosis, 60 were determined to have pythiosis and 3 to have entomophthoromycosis. In pythiosis, male, large-breed dogs less than or equal to 3 years old were most commonly affected. Clinical signs usually included vomiting and weight loss and these were associated with lesions of the stomach and small intestine. Histologically, the causative organisms were found in necrotic regions of diffuse or discrete granulomas in the submucosa or muscularis mucosae. Entomophthoromycosis was diagnosed by finding wide eosinophilic sleeves intimately surrounding thin-walled hyphae. Less than 5% of the dogs were alive 3 months following diagnosis.
在一项对63例犬胃肠道藻菌病的研究中，确定60例患有腐霉病，3例患有虫霉病。在腐霉病中，雄性、年龄小于或等于3岁的大型犬最常受到影响。临床症状通常包括呕吐和体重减轻，这些与胃和小肠的病变有关。组织学上，致病微生物存在于黏膜下层或黏膜肌层弥漫性或散在性肉芽肿的坏死区域。通过发现宽嗜酸性袖套紧密围绕薄壁菌丝来诊断虫霉病。诊断后3个月内，不到5%的犬存活。
