Abstract

Scopulariopsis brevicaulis is a saprophytic fungus that has wide geographic distribution. This study describes a case of hair loss and skin lesions observed in male and female Wistar rats due to Scopulariopsis brevicaulisinfection in Turkey. Skin scrapings and hair samples from three male and two female rats were provided by the Experimental Animal Production and Experimental Research Center of Mehmet Akif Ersoy University to the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Microbiology Laboratory in Burdur for analysis in July 2019. Microbiological methods were used for species identification and Scopulariopsis brevicaulis was isolated from all of the samples. The rats completely recovered without treatment and had no recurrence of clinical signs at one month post-sampling. This study is the first report of S. brevicaulis causing an infection in Wistar rats in Turkey.

Özet

Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, geniş coğrafi dağılımı olan saprofitik bir mantardır. Bu olgu, Türkiye’deki erkek vedişi Wistar ratlarında Scopulariopsis brevicaulis infeksiyonuna bağlı olarak gözlenen tüy kaybı ve deri lezyonlarınıtanımlamaktadır. Üç erkek ve iki dişi albino Wistar ratından deri kazıntıları ve tüy örnekleri, Temmuz 2019’da analiziçin Mehmet Akif Ersoy Üniversitesi Deney Hayvanları Üretim ve Deneysel Araştırma Merkezi tarafından Burdur Ve teriner Fakültesi Mikrobiyoloji Anabilim Dalı Laboratuvarına gönderildi. Mikrobiyolojik yöntemler tür identifikasyonuiçin kullanıldı ve tüm örneklerden Scopulariopsis brevicaulis izole edildi. Tüm ratlar tedavi gerektirmeden iyileşti veörneklemeden bir ay sonra klinik belirtiler nüksetmedi. Bu çalışma, S. brevicaulis’in Türkiye’deki Wistar ratlarındainfeksiyona neden olduğunu bildiren ilk rapordur.
