During 2018-2024, in the cities of Baku and Ganja, where pets are widely kept and stray dogs and cats are prevalent, as well as in the cities of Gazakh, Goygol, Goranboy, Gadabey, Dashkasan and Shamkir, sick and suspected dogs and cats were examined. In total, 145 dogs and 160 cats were included in the examination. Hair, itchy skin samples, and blood samples were collected from the dogs and cats involved in the examination, respectively. In addition, for the prevention of microsporia, samples were taken from the cages, mats and surfaces of care items for sick dogs and cats in the dog and cat shelters created under Azerbaijan Veterinary Scientific Research Institute before disinfection and after the effect of disinfectants (after the appropriate time has passed). During the study, a multi-method diagnostic approach was used for accurate diagnosis of Microsporia. The use of a multi-method approach (microscopy, obtaining pure culture of Microsporum spp. and Wood's lamp examination) in the diagnosis of microsporia was implemented. The main goal of our research was to correctly diagnose dogs and cats infected with Microsporia and to study the dynamics of the effects of various treatments and antifungal drugs in the treatment of the disease, at the same time to achieve the correct organization of the prevention of the disease.
