This experiment was undertaken to determine the causative agent of dermatophytosis that occurred in the 3 common seals and an elephant which were derived from the Tae-gu and Busan zoological gardens. Direct microscopic examination, culture and pathogenicity test were performed for the samples obtained from the skin lesions of the animals. The causative agent was identified as Trichophyton mentagrophytes exclusively in these cases, and the present report describes the first cases of the common seal and elephant as ringworm.
