Ringworm infection in humans due to <I>Microsporum canis</I> is carried by pets. Few reports, however, have looked at pets as the source of this infection. Using a hairbrush method, we mycologically examined 20 cats, 7 dogs, and 2 rabbits which were kept in the homes of our patients. Eighteen of the cats had some lesions, while none of the other animals did. <I>M. canis</I> was isolated from all 20 cats and 3 of the 7 dogs. The average number of isolated colonies was 228 from the 18 infected cats, 43 from the 2 which were lesion-free, and 44 from 3 of the dogs. Positive findings by the hairbrush method were obtained following average traetment of 10 weeks in 10 cats on oral griseofulvin, and 5 weeks in 2 treated dogs.<BR>We thus conclude that cats are the most important transmitters of <I>M. canis</I> infection to humans, and the large number of colonies isolated by the method used indicates the high rate of infection of the cat.
