Cerebral mycosis in a dog caused by Cladosporium trichoides

Emmons 1952.

Newsholme SJ, Tyrer MJ.

The fungus, Cladosporium trichoides, was isolated and cultured from

a lesion in the cerebellum and from smaller lesions in the liver,

kidney and spleen of a dog which had a history of behavioural

changes, ataxia and collapse. Histopathological examination showed

the cerebellar lesion to be a purulant granuloma which contained

brown, septate hypae and structures resembling conidia. The source

of infection was not traced and no predisposing factors were

apparent. As far as is known, this is the first record of the

condition in animals in southern Africa and the first report

anywhere of this condition in the dog.
