Blastomycosis was diagnosed in 6 dogs living in New York state. To our knowledge, blastomycosis has not been previously reported in dogs in this area, and maps that indicate the prevalence of blastomycosis in North America often partially or completely exclude the state of New York. Environmental characteristics implicated in previous blastomycosis outbreaks in people can be found in New York state, and this may explain how these dogs became infected. Blastomycosis develops in people as well as in dogs, and an understanding of the ecologic and clinical features of blastomycosis can help veterinarians counsel their clients in matters of public health.
在居住于纽约州的6只犬中诊断出芽生菌病。据我们所知，此前该地区的犬类中尚未有芽生菌病的报道，而且显示北美芽生菌病患病率的地图常常部分或完全排除了纽约州。在纽约州可以找到与先前人类芽生菌病疫情相关的环境特征，这或许可以解释这些犬是如何感染的。芽生菌病在人和犬类中都会发生，了解芽生菌病的生态学和临床特征有助于兽医就公共卫生问题向客户提供建议。
