“…Even when associated with bacteria, in 4 cases, they constitute a real problem once the therapy against bacterial mastitis is unsuccessful in eliminating the fungi presence in the quarter. This finding is in agreement with other researchers (Prasad and Prasad 1966, Fransworth 1977, Richard et al 1980). …”

“…According to the bibliography, many outbreaks of mycotic mastitis have occurred, following intramammary antibiotic therapy (Prasad and Prasad 1966, Topolka 1968, Fransworth 1977, Chengappa et al 1984. It is believed that, in most of our cases, mycotic mastitis could be the result of a serial treatment with antibacterial antibiotics given blindly to the animals.…”

“…The secretions are grayish-white and contain numerous flakes. Spontaneous elimination of infection by the cow occurs frequently, although some glands will continue to secrete yeasts for 6 to 12 months (Prasad andPrasad 1966, Fransworth 1977). Chermette and Bussieras (1993), after an overview of the literature, concluded that in some European countries more than 6% of mastitis is due to yeasts.…”

“…More over, the overdose use of antibiotics in the treatment of mastitis, as well as the teat trauma due to the milking machine or the intramammary substances, are the most important predisposing factors. Furthermore, there is an increasing number of cases reported, almost associated with prior treatment of bacterial mastitis (Prasad and Prasad 1966, Fransworth 1977, Richard et al 1980). …”

The aim of this study was to isolate fungi from mastitic milk of dairy cows and to identify fungal microorganisms involved in bovine mastitis. A total of 608 milk samples from clinical mastitis quarters from 580 animals in Northern Greece were collected, during the years 1997-2001. Antibacterial treatment was administrated to 50% of the sampled animals. Forty two (42) fungi were isolated and identified using mycological media and methods. From the 42 fungi isolates, 38 were yeasts and 4 moulds. The yeasts isolated were classified into the genera Candida, Geotrichum, Rhodotorula. From the thirty four (34) Candida species, 14 were identified as G tropicalis and 6 as G krusei. Furthermore, 4 isolates were classified as G pseudotropicalis, 4 as G albicans, 3 as G parapsilosis and 3 as G rugosa. Geotrichum candidum and Rhodotorula spp. were represented with 2 isolates. The isolated moulds were classified into the genus Aspergillus. Fungi were isolated in pure culture from 38 milk samples and in mixed culturewith bacteria from 4. In 510 samples only bacteria were cultured, while in 56 samples no growth of microorganism was observed. The results of the present study indicate that a level of 6.9% of mycotic mastitis is significant and yeasts are apparently implicated in mammary gland pathology causing economic loss.

“…In cattle, yeasts are the predominant cause of mycotic mastitis, and a wide range of yeasts, especially of the genus Candida, are associated with infections (1,4,7,9,12,13,15,16,17,18,21,24,25,31,32,35,36,37,39,40,42,44,45,46). By contrast, bovine mastitis associated with filamentous fungi (10,38,39) is rarely reported.…”

A one‐year examination of mammary secretions (n = 2,896) from Danish cattle with clinical or subclinical mastitis revealed 45 strains of fungi and algae. The strains originated from 44 mammary secretions of 42 cows in 40 herds. The following species of fungi were identified: Candida catenulata (n = 2), Candida kefyr (n = 6), Candida krusei (n=17), Candida rugosa (n = 6), Candida tropicalis (n = 3), Candida valida (n=1), Geotrichum capitatum (n = 5). The algal species Prototheca zopfii was demonstrated in five samples.

The available published reports on animal mycoses in India and the fungal agents isolated from animal material are discussed. Among dermatophytes, the occurrence of Trichophyton verrucosum, T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, T. equimum, T. violaceum, T. simii, T. tonsurans, T. terrestre, T. ajelloi, Microsporum canis, M. gypseum and M. namum has been reported. Cases of aspergillosis, candidiasis, phycomycosis, rhinosporidiosis, epizootic lymphangitis, mycotic abortions and mycotic mastitis have been recorded in animals in this country. However, there is no report of histoplasmosis, sporotrichosis, blastomycosis and coccidioidomycosis among animals from India.
