GENITAL MYCOSIS IN MAIL DOGS

Abstract

As a result of microscopic and microbiological tests on semen from two dogs with signs of infertility necrospermia was established and fungi of the genus Fusarium were isolated. When develop in food and feed they emit toxins that cause mycotoxicosis in animals and birds after oral intake. Zearalenone, one of mycotoxins of these mushrooms is known as the cause of the atrophy of the gonads, spermatogenesis disorders, and infertility. This, however, is the first release for the isolation of fungi from the seminal fluid and setting them as the cause of genital mycosis.
