Fungal diseases of rabbits.
Although fungal diseases in rabbits are reported, they are encountered infrequently in clinical practice. The most common fungal disease is a superficial dermatophytosis, with deep mycotic infections being rare. Rabbits can be asymptomatic carriers of dermatophytes and should be considered a potential source of zoonotic exposure. Treatment protocols often are based on common small animal regimes. Rabbits also have normal gastrointestinal yeast that often is found on routine fecal examinations.
