Abstract
Current study aimed to evaluate the role of animals rearing in separate and mixed methods on transmission of dermatophytes to humans in Kafrelsheikh governorate.
The samples were collected from skin lesions of humans and animals for isolation and identification of zoonotic dermatophytes using Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) media.
The results indicated that animals reared in separate species had 37 isolates of Trichophyton verrucosum;  31 from cattle, (7.65%), 5 from sheep (3.08%) and 1 from goats (1.33%). Nineteen isolates of T. mentaghrophytes var mentagrophytes and 9 isolates of Microsporum canis were  isolated from rabbits (2.02%). Contact humans recorded 4 isolates of T. verrucosum, 3 isolates of T. mentagrophytes var. mentagrophytes and 2 isolates of M. canis. In animals reared in mixed species method, 63 isolates of T. verrucosum were isolated. Thirty seven isolates of T. verrucosum were also, isolated from humans in contact with these animals (6.85%) but only 9 isolates from humans in contact with separate species reared animals (2.95%) (4 T. verrucosum, T. mentagrophytes var. mentagrophytes and 2 M. canis).
In conclusion the Cattle, sheep < /em>, goats and rabbit have significant role in transmission of dermatophytes to humans in contacts, especially animals reared in mixed species.
