We report on the outbreak of dermatomycosis caused by Microsporum canis at a bavarian pig breeding and fattening farm. Clinical signs were shown mainly by younger pigs. Microsporum canis could be identified in skin scrapings of pigs, cats, and the farmer's daughter by culture and fluorescence microscopy. Questions of epizootiology, diagnostics and therapy are discussed.
