Occurrence of cutaneous candidiasis among domestic dogs in Thrissur
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The present study was aimed to determine the occurrence of cutaneous candidiasis in dogs. Thirty dogs confirmed positive for Candida spp., by cultural, biochemical and molecular techniques. The occurrence was higher in dogs within the age group of 6 months to 2 years (43%) followed by adult dogs 2 to 6 years (30%), senile dogs more than 6 years (17%) and puppies less than 6 months (10%). The sex predisposition of cutaneous candidiasis did not show any significant differences. The occurrence was higher in Labrador retriever dogs (47%) followed by Dachshund (13%), Pug (10%), Beagle, Shih Tzu and crossbred dogs (7% each). The disease was observed more often in dogs with mixed diet practice (57%) and indoor housing (67%). The predominant clinical signs observed were dermatitis, otitis, intertrigo, paronychia and perineal candidiasis. The lesions were distributed mainly in the ear (54%), skin folds (17%), and combined form (29%). In summary, this research sheds light on the risk factors for cutaneous candidiasis in dogs, highlighting the age groups, breeds, and environmental factors that may influence the occurrence of the condition. The findings provide valuable insights for veterinarians and pet owners, aiding in the understanding and management of cutaneous candidiasis in canines.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
