Fifty cats of different ages, sex and race without apparent dermatopathies, treated in five veterinary clinics in the city of Trujillo, were examined in order to determine the presence of Microsporum canis. Head, neck and anterior limb samples were obtained by depilation for being directly observed with KOH 20% solution in a microscope, and subsequently culture on Sabouraud agar. About the cats without apparent dermatopathies, 8% were positive for direct observation and 22% for Microsporum canis isolation in culture. No significant difference was found for sampled body region. The highest incidence was found in young males of mongrel and short hair, who share the place of housing between house and street, and who, in parallel, lived mainly with dogs. Epidemiologically we demonstrated that cats with no apparent dermatopathies are healthy carriers of Microsporum canis.
