Epizootiological and clinical characteristics of bovine dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton verrucosum
Dermatophytoses present frequent contagious fungal skin diseases in humans and animals. Zoophyllic types of dermatophytes are almost always present in animals. The dominant dermatophyte specie in cattle and other ruminants is Trichophyton verrucosum of the Family Arthrodermataceae. In the c...

| description | Dermatophytoses present frequent contagious fungal skin diseases in humans
and animals. Zoophyllic types of dermatophytes are almost always present in
animals. The dominant dermatophyte specie in cattle and other ruminants is
Trichophyton verrucosum of the Family Arthrodermataceae. In the course of
this investigation, a total of 566 animals of the Holstein- Friesian breed
were examined epizootiologically and clinically. Methods of epizootiological,
clinical and laboratory examinations were applied. The material used for
laboratory investigations that included direct microscopic examinations
including the isolation and identification of the cause, were hair samples
and skin scars of cattle suspected of having the infection. Using the
described methods, we established and described cattle infection with T.
verrucosum in a farm in the district Južnobački okrug, in the Republic of
Serbia. A prevalence of cattle skin infection with T. verrucosum of 29.5% was
established. In addition to the exhibited charateristic eflorescences that
correspond to the clinical picture of dermatophytoses, we also registered the
occurrence of hemorrhages, suppurations and necroses. Further
epizootiological investigations are necesssary in order to eliminate the
source of infection. |
