Dermatophytosis, also known as tinea and ringworm, is a fungal infection of the skin [2] (a dermatomycosis), that may affect skin, hair, and nails. [1] Typically it results in a red, itchy, scaly, circular rash. [ 1 ]
Trichophyton verrucosum is very slow-growing compared to other dermatophytes. [4] In culture, it is characterized by being flat, white/cream colour, having an occasional dome, with a glabrous texture, known as the variant album, however other variations are also found: T. verrucosum var. ochraceum has a flat, yellow, glabrous colony; T. verrucosum var. discoides has a gray-white, flat, and ...
Demodex bovis, also known as the cattle follicle mite, usually causes demodicosis, or demodectic mange, in cattle. This disease is common in tropical areas and is not usually found in temperate environments. [1] Demodicosis is characterized by the formation of papules and nodules over the cattle's skin.
A scoring system [5] was developed to classify the different stages of digital dermatitis, the M-stages system, where "M" stands for Mortellaro. The different stages are described as: M0, healthy skin; M1, early stage, skin defect < 2 cm diameter; M2, acute active ulcerative lesion; M3, healing stage, lesion covered with scab-like material; M4, chronic stage, that may be dyskeratotic (mostly ...
More frequently, cattle, horses, sheep, and goats are affected. Humans can also get this skin disease if elementary hygiene measures are not observed after dealing with infected animals. This dermatologic condition is known by many names - cutaneous streptotrichosis (on cattle, goats, and horses), rain scald (on horses), lumpy wool (on sheep ...
A dermatomycosis is a skin disease caused by a fungus. [1] The most frequent form is dermatophytosis (ringworm, tinea). Another example is cutaneous candidiasis. These fungal infections impair superficial layers of the skin, hair and nails.
Rain scald (also known as dermatophilosis, tufailosis, rain rot or streptothricosis [1]) is a dermatological disease affecting cattle and horses. Once in the skin, the bacterium Dermatophilus congolensis causes inflammation of the skin as well as the appearance of scabs and lesions.
