Abstract The present study aimed to give an idea about the epidemiology of Cr. oJormans and number of other yeasts to find a correlation between the environment IIId the clinical cases to follow the ideal and correct hygienic measures for the protection ’Om different diseases transmited to man, animals and birds, where the environment has major role for that. For that purpose, samples were collected from diseased and apparently healthy imals and birds as well as soil samples from different environmental sources. The ,Iycological examinations of (2493) samples of vaginal swabs, faecal samples, nasal Il’abs , milk samples, bird DROPpings and soil samples from different environmental. urces yielded (1228) positive samples for different yeast strains in a percentage of :19.2%). Positive samples for yeasts were obtained in a highest percentage from bird oppings (65.7%), followed by nasal swabs (64%), then milk samples (53.4%), vaginal ,vabs (51.8%), faecal samples (44.9%) and finally, the lowest percentage was obtained m soil samples taken from different environmental sources (19.9%). It is evident that, out of the total samples examined in the present study, Candida cies were obtained in a highest percentage of (23.2%), followed by C. albicans 4.4%), then R.rubra (5.9%), G.candidum (5;2%), Cr. neoformans (2%) and finally, cutaneum (0.5%). |
