  Abstract
  The work is devoted to the study of the pathomorphology of mycotic diseases in mammals, birds, and reptiles. The work aims to study the morphology and characteristics of the pathomorphogenesis of mycoses in different animals, the pathological anatomical and histological figures of these diseases. The study analyzes changes in the body of various animal species under the influence of fungal infections caused by fungi of the genus Aspergillus, Mucor. Consideration of the pathomorphological manifestations of mycoses was carried out at the Department of Morphology and Expertise of the Ural State Autonomous Administration. To describe the manifestation of fungal infections, we performed an autopsy, followed by histological examination of pathological material from two camels, one swan, three budgies, a Bengal tiger, seven goats, and 69 reptiles, with a preliminary diagnosis of mycosis, according to generally accepted methods. The study showed that mycotic diseases in reptiles are quite common in the practice of a veterinarian. Analyzing the occurrence of fungal diseases, it found that mycoses caused by fungi of the genus Aspergillus accounted for 52% of cases, Candida 26%, Mucor 16%, and mixed mycoses 6%. In the study of mycoses, we found pathological changes in such organs as the liver, lungs, spleen, kidneys, adipose tissue, in the stomachs, pancreas and intestines. These changes were mainly in the nature of a granulomatous process.
