Dermatophytosis is a disease of great importance at present, since it is a zoonosis, caused by a geophilic fungus. Of vast amplitude, it is considered that there are about 30 species of dermatophytes, being able to propagate in domestic animals, wild or even in humans. Their species are subdivided into, geophilic, those that live in the soil, zoophilic, those that attack domestic and wild animals and anthophilic, that attack them the human skin. Due to the potential of this disease, it is important to carry out a comprehensive review of the scientific literature in an attempt to suggest veterinary treatment to accelerate the suppression of dermatophytosis, reducing the risk of secondary contamination. The objective of this work is to do a review of the literature on Dermatofitose.
