Infection with <i>Devriesea agamarum</i> and <i>Chrysosporium guarroi</i> in an inland bearded dragon (<i>Pogona vitticeps</i>)

Abstract

This is the first case of an infection with D. agamarum and C. guarroi in an inland bearded dragon (P. vitticeps). It emphasizes the importance of mycological cultures and specific treatment. Samples of suspected Chrysosporium sp. should be cultured at 30°C for 10-14 days. Early antifungal treatment is necessary to prevent systemic and potentially fatal infection with C. guarroi.
