Spherules
This illustrates the tissue phase of one of the systemic fungi. What is this tissue phase called?
Arthrospores
This illustrates the reproductive stage of some fungi. These are called?
Cryptococcus neoformans
The use of india ink is a valuable tool in diagnosing infection with this fungal agent
Coccidioides immitis
In their natural habitat these pathogenic fungi are associated w/ rodent burrows in the Southwestern deserts
Deuteromycetes
This form class contains most of the fungi pathogenic to animals
Microsporum canis
Wood’s Lamp fluorescence is often helpful in detecting the presence of this dermatophyte
Coccidioides immitis
The spherule is the characteristic tissue form of this dimorphic fungal species
Blastomyces dermatitidis
Coccidioides immitis
Histoplasma capsulatum
These 3 dimorphic fungi cause systemic disseminated disease in dogs in the US
Malassezia pachydermatis
This monomorphic yeast is known to cause a greasy seborrhea w/ thickened skin
Sporothrix schenckii
This agent causes an ulcerative lymphangitis in horses
Cryptococcus neoformans
The natural habitat of this pathogen is often in urban centers because of its ability to utilize creatinine found in pigeon feces
Histoplasma capsulatum
Acute pneumonia is humans and dogs from this agent is frequently associated w/ infection acquired from contact in old bird roosts
Coccidioides immitis
Systemic disease w/ this dimorphic fungus is caharacterized by bone lesions at the epiphyseal junction
Histoplasma capsulatum
Most humans in MO have had mild infections w/ this dimorphic fungus and are sensitive to the antigens on the skin test
Cryptococcus neoformans
This yeast is noted for the lack of inflammatory response seen in infected tissue when it spreads systemically
Eukarya
The domain to which the fungi belong
Aspergillus sp.
This is the most common fungal species isolated from guttural pouch mycosis in the horse.
Pythium insidiosum
This agent is the cause of pythiosis in horses
Potassium Iodide
THis drug is probable drug of choric to treat a horse w/ sporotrichosis
Cycloheximide
THis drug is commonly added to the media used to grow microsporum canis to keep contaminating environmental fungi from growing
Amphotericin B
Ketoconazole
These 2 drugs from different families would be most useful in treatment of an acute pneumonia caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis in the dog
Griseofulvin
Itraconazole
These 2 drugs from different families would be most useful in treatment of a microsporum canis infection in a cat
Fluconazole
This drug would be probable drug of choice for treatment of a yeast caused meningitis in a cat
Granulomatous
The term that would describe the type of body response that is usual in fungal infections
Sporulation
Method of reproduction of all pathogenic fungal species
Ergosterol
This compound is in the cytoplasmic membrane of fungi but not in the cytoplasmic membrane of mammalian cells
Chitin
This compound is a structural component of the cell wall of fungi but not of bacteria
Ectothrix
Arthrospores are formed external to the hair shaft
Anthropophilic fungus
Humans are the maintaining host of these type of dermatophytes
Periodic-acid-Schiff stain
The best stain to visualize the fungal cell wall in histopathology
Geophilic fungus
Term used for fungi whose major source to the animal is the soil
Mycotoxicosis
An intoxication due to ingestion of toxic metabolites produced by the action of certain molds on some food products
Zoophilic fungus
Animals are the maintaining host of these types of dermatophytes
Uveitis
The term referring to inflammation of the eye
Dermatophytosis
The name given for a fungal infection of the animal skin w/ microsporum canis
Otitis
Inflammation of the ear
Lacto-phenol cotton blue
The best stain to visualize fungi from culture growth
Plasmalemma
Term used that refer to the cytoplasmic membrane of fungi
Eucaryotic cell
The cell structure type typical of the fungi
Dermatophyte Test medium
Veterinarians often use this type of media in their practices to grow the fungi that affect the keratinized layers of the animal skin.

Diffuse granulomatousrxn w/ few inflammatory cells
The tissue rxn seen in Cryptococcus meningitis of the cat can best be described as:
A disease of high danger to exposed individuals
You have diagnosed a dermatophyte infection in a cat. The client asks about the possibility of transfer of the infection to her or her children. You advised her that the ringworm in the cat, in regards to the possibility of transfer to humans is?
Is characterized by mononuclear type phagocytic cells
Fungi such as Coccidioides immitis produce granulomatous disease syndromes in the dog. The primary difference b/t this granulomatous response and other types of inflammatory responses seen w/ infectious agents is that the granulomatous response:
