“…In the current study, males were found to be more susceptible to Malassezia, the prevalence in males was 60% against 40% in females, these findings are in complete agreement with the findings of Conkova et al, (2011) and Seetha et al, 2018. However, the results contradict the findings of Nardoni et al, 2004 who advocated no significant difference in the prevalence in both the sexes. The skewing of the incidence towards the males could be attributed to the fact that androgen triggers greater production of sebum Conkova et al, (2011) which predisposes the males to latent infection with Malassezia.…”

“…The findings are in agreement with studies by Borkar et al, (2014). However, studies by Khoravi et al, (2008) reported highest prevalence in the age group of 2-5 years, Girao et al, (2006) and Seetha et al, (2018) also opined highest prevalence in the age group of 1-3 years. The above facts must be considered in the light of climatic factors and managemental practices which may influence the prevalence of Malassezia in dogs.…”

“…In long standing cases due to intense itching secondary complications including bacterial infection, lichenification and hyperpigmentation have been reported. The prevalence and its variation have been thoroughly studied, breeds like Cocker Spaniel, German Shephards, Labrador Retriever, Basset Hound, Dachshund, West Highland White Terrier, Poodle and Australian Silky Terrier breeds of dogs were found to be highly susceptible Seetha et al, (2018), Nascente et al, (2015). Under the Indian context, Labradors, German Shepherds, Dobermans, Spitzs, Dachshund, Great Danes were found to be more susceptible (Kumar et al, 2011).…”

“…Malassezia sp is classified as a dimorphic fungus since it is found in yeast and mycelial phases. This fungus is a lipophilic fungus that forms colonies in the stratum corneum of the skin [4], is oval or ellipsoidal with thick walls and without pseudomycelium production [6]. This type of leaf can be classified into 7 (seven) species.…”

Malasseziosis is a common fungal infection in dogs and it is secondary to the initial underlying dermatitis infection. These infections can worsen the prognosis of disease in dogs. The study was conducted on 26 dogs that were treated in several veterinary clinics in the Badung, Bali. This study aimed to determine the incidence rate of Malassezia sp. in dogs with dermatitis. Samples were collected using tape smear method from the skin lesion and then by microscopic examination. The results were tabulated and analyze descriptively. The results showed that 15 of the 26 samples of dogs tested positive were infected with Malassezia sp. (58%). Infection is more common in male (60%) and geriatric dogs (40%). Lesions were more common in the ear, limb, vaginal and inguinal region of infected dogs

Dermatitis is the most common skin health problem in dogs whose causative agents are parasitic, bacterial, fungal and viral infections. The purpose of this paper is to diagnose and determine the success of dermatitis therapy due to Malassezia spp fungal infection and Rhipicephalus sanguineus tick infestation. A 7-month-old mixed breed dog weighing 4.5 kg was examined with complaints of itching and hair baldness. Clinical examination revealed alopecia on the face, chin, body and legs, scale on the head, papules on the abdomen, erythema on the cranial and caudal extremities with oily, rancid skin and Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks on the hind legs. The results of cytological examination of skin taken by impression smear found the presence of Malassezia fungal agents. The results of the examination using the antibody kit showed negative results. Routine hematology examination showed the case dog had lymphocytosis and hyperchromic macrocytic anemia. Based on the history, physical examination, and supporting examination, the case dog was diagnosed with Malassezia fungal dermatitis and tick infestation with a prognosis of fausta.The therapy given was oral itraconazole, loratadine, fish oil, sebasol shampoo and multivitamin (sakatonic active). The results of therapy observed on day 14 showed that the condition of the case dog began to improve, characterized by a reduced scratching reaction, reduced scale, erythema, and papules, and superficial skin that was initially oily and rancid smelling had also begun to decrease. The case dog's hair has grown on the head, abdomen and legs. Therefore, to avoid recurrent infections, owners need to avoid keeping the animal in a humid place and keep the animal's body clean as favorable conditions can trigger recurrent events, as well as reduce direct contact with stray dogs to prevent ticks.
