We investigated Malassezia spp. in external ear canal and haircoat of free-ranging golden-headed lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysomelas). A total of 199 animals were restrained, and 597 clinical samples were collected. After the amplification of the 26S ribosomal gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the RFLP technique was performed. Two additional PCR protocols were performed in 10 randomly selected strains. Malassezia sp. was isolated in 38.2% (76/199) of the animals and 14.6% (87/597) of the samples; all strains were lipodependent. The 10 sequenced strains showed a high identity with Malassezia japonica, species described in man, but not in animals, so far.

粳稻（Malassezia japonica）是自由放养的金头绢毛猴的皮肤微生物组的一部分（Leontopithecus chrysomelas-Kuhl，1820年）。

我们调查了马拉色菌属。分布在外耳道中，并散放着金头狮子猴（Leontopithecus chrysomelas）。总共限制了199只动物，并收集了597个临床样品。通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）扩增26S核糖体基因后，进行RFLP技术。在10个随机选择的菌株中进行了另外两个PCR方案。马拉色菌属 在38.2％（76/199）的动物和14.6％（87/597）的样品中分离出了这种化合物；所有菌株都是脂依赖性的。到目前为止，这10个测序菌株与日本疟原虫具有高度同一性。
