[Zoonoses and dermatoses: the veterinarian's point of view].
Pets live more and more in contact with humans. It is then usual to observe occasionally cutaneous problems transmitted from the animal to the man. The most important risk of dermatozoonosis is dermatophytosis because of a lot of dogs or cats seem to be asymptomatic carriers. Pruritus in owners of pets developing a "mange" is also a complaint very often evokated during the veterinary consultation. Even if this problem could be sometimes very spectacular, in the majority of the cases, all the symptoms in humans disappear with the management of the skin disease in pets. A review of the animal dermatosis presenting a risk for the humans is proposed in the present paper.
