astitis represents one of the main diseases in dairy cows.

In Algeria, very few studies have been conducted on

the prevalence of fungal mastitis in dairy cattle farms as well

as various factors favoring their appearance and development.

In most cases, the triggers this infection is bacteria. A growing

number of fungi are currently associated with this pathology.

This is related to antibiotics too widely used in the treatment

of these bacterial agents. So we set as objectives, determining

the prevalence of mastitis caused by yeasts and the study of a

number of risk factors in some dairy farms in the region of Sidi

Lahcène,wilayaof Sidi Bel Abbes. The samples of this studywere

carried on farms of cows (mastitic cow and clinically healthy

cow) belonging to two types of farms (farms with manual

milking andmechanicalmilking farms). The risk factors included,

animal secretions, the teat cups, the hands of the milkers, the

skin of the mammary gland, the drinker, the manger, the milk

storage tank, the milk collection seal. Mycological analysis was

conducted at the Laboratory of Parasitology - Mycology from

the Higher National Veterinary School–Algiers. The isolated

yeasts were identified using microscopic characterization, and

auxanogramme realized in biochemical galleries (gallery Pasteur

Institut Pasteur Algiers and testing API® AUX Bio Merieux,

France). Our results showed a prevalence of infection with

yeast, a high frequency of isolation was attributed for the genus

Candida sp. followed by the genus Rhodotorula sp. followed by

the two genera Cryptococcus sp. and Trichosporon sp.
