Abstract
Malassezia yeast infections are recognized with increasing frequency in veterinary medicine. These opportunistic yeasts cause secondary ear and skin infections that can be extremely pruritic. Within the past 10 years, the Malassezia genus has been divided into seven species. This article describes the new species of Malassezia and their relevance to companion animals. Additionally, recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of Malassezia infections are discussed.
