It involves dermatophytes, which are a class of fungi that cause skin infections. - Canine Parvovirus is a viral disease that affects dogs, characterized by severe gastrointestinal symptoms. - Feline Herpesvirus is also a viral infection, particularly affecting cats, causing respiratory issues and other symptoms. Recognizing the distinction between bacterial diseases and those caused by fungi or viruses is crucial for understanding the nature of various infections and how they should be treated.
