Survey on the Presence of Malassezia spp. in Healthy Rabbit Ear Canals. [PDF]
Pathogens, 2020 Malassezia spp. have rarely been reported in rodents and lagomorphs. In 2011, Malassezia cuniculi was described in two rabbits. Further microscopic studies showed M. cuniculi-like yeasts in more than 50% of samples from rabbits’ ear canals, but no isolation was made. The present study details the presence of Malassezia spp.
