The study of the infectious diseases in wild animals, in special the illnesses caused by fungi, have a few stories related with the incidence and distribution of the diverse ethiologic agents in captive populations and especially in the free ranging animals. The identification of the fungical species that are part of microbiota in healthful animals is primordial condition for the recognition of causers of pathological processes. The objective of this work was the isolation and the identification of fungi that is present in healthy wild animals or not, received in Screening Centers, and the respective study of mycosis caused by the fungi in wild animals in the states of the Rio Grande do Sul and Mato Grosso do Sul. The material collections had been carried through sterilized swabs for the external acoustic meatus and of the technique of "square of the carpet for the tegument of the wild animals in evaluation. The samples had been collected from 83 animals and the sorts of isolated fungi in this study had been Aspergillus sp., Candida spp., Penicillium sp., Geotrichum sp., Malassezia sp., Trichophyton sp., Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Fusarium sp. e Scopulariopsis sp. In 33 animals that had presented injuries it had fungical isolation in 97%. Amongst the birds, 100% of the collected animals had presented clinical signals, with isolation of the Candida sp. e Aspergillus sp. in 81% (n=13) and 19% (n=3) of the animals, respectively. In the group of the mammals, the total of animals that had presented clinical signals was of 23,07% (n=15), and all the genus of isolated fungi in this study were present, the exception of Fusarium sp. In the group of the reptiles, represented for two units of the specie Chelonia mydas, it had growth of Candida lipolytica in an individual and Fusarium sp. in another one, and they both presented clinical signals. The results obtained in the samplings had allowed to conclude that fungi are present in wild animals, therefore, it s necessary the continuity of the studies on microbiota and fungical illnesses in wild animals in rehabilitation: and its respective ethyological agents, in way that new findings can make possible the prevention and the treatment of mycoses, improving the carried attendance through of more directed and specify form in the services of primary attention to wild animals in Brazil.
