“…The results of fungal culture in this study indicate that dermatophytosis cases in cats in Yogyakarta are dominated by M. canis species. The results of this study are similar to the findings of previous researchers who explained that three most common dermatophyte species infecting cats and dogs are M. canis, M. gypseum, and T. mentagrophytes (Indarjulianto et al, 2014;Dong et al, 2016;Grable, 2019;Moriello et al, 2019;Paryuni et al, 2020). Research results by Moriello and Deboer (2012) and Koussidou-Eremondi et al (2005) also showed that M. canis is a dermatophyte species that is commonly found in cats and is known to be the main dermatophyte found in humans.…”

“…Moriello et al (2017) and Bianchi et al (2017) also stated that dermatophyte infection will manifest as superficial clinical signs, starting with the presence of erythema then followed by the appearance of scales and crusts, then alopecia. Paryuni et al (2020) mentioned that dermatophytes are known to be unable to grow in the center of the lesion (an area that is experiencing inflammation), so the infection will spread centrifugally to the periphery of the lesion resulting in round lesions such as rings or ringworms.…”

Dermatophytosis is a zoonotic disease caused by fungi of species dermatophyte. The case of dermatophytosis have increased not only in humans but also in animals, especially dogs and cats. The close interaction of cats and humans reported to play an important role in dissemination of zoonotic diseases. Therefore, this study aims to diagnose and to treat of dermatophytosis in cats. Twenty cats with the age of 6-12 months were used in this study. Determination of dermatophyte infection in cats based on clinical signs and laboratory identification of fungi. Skin scrapes samples were cultured onto Sabouraud's dextrose agar medium. Hair and skin scraping were conducted at the day-1 (pretreated with ketoconazole). Subsequently, infected cats were treated with topical application of 2% ketoconazole cream, twice a day for 21 days. Results showed that all of cats positive infected with Microsporum canis. Feature of the skin of cats infected by Microsporum canis demonstrates erythema, scale, crust, and circular alopecia. At day-21, antifungal treatment not only diminished by approximately 85% of the clinical feature of the skin lesion of cat's dermatophytosis but also resulted in the disappearance of the fungi. To conclude, topically applied of antifungal ketoconazole for at least three weeks effective to treat dermatophytosis in cats.

“…13 Dermatophytes consist of 40 species of fungi derived from three genera, namely, Micropsorum, Trichophyton, and Epidermophyton. 14 The two genera of fungi that are the main causes of dermatophytosis in animals (especially in dogs and cats) are Microsporum spp. and Trichophyton spp.…”

Green chemistry‐based biowaste has been taken attention toward new components for many applications especially in dermatophytes of animals and humans. The main goal of this study is to assist the synthetic pathways; clean and large‐scale synthesis of silver nanoparticles is achieved as a promising alternative green technique with high efficiency, simplicity and less hazardous waste based on agro‐waste of banana peels extract powder. The preparation of silver nanoparticles is directly via solid‐state reaction and the liquid one based on the natural agro‐waste of banana peels under specific conditions for treating ringworm in pets. Ultraviolet (UV)‐visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to prove the prepared nanoparticles. A total of 30 samples from pets (dogs and cats) were subjected to mycological examination. Ten (33.3%) were culture positive, and 100% of the positive samples were Microsporum canis. In vitro antifungal activity against M. canis isolates using both the disc diffusion and the broth microdilution methods was evaluated. The significant results for solid silver nanoparticles (Ags1 and Ags2) than liquid Ag NPs (AgL) with p < 0.05 compared with itraconazole were observed. This biomaterial from waste could be used as a fast, simple, eco‐friendly, and efficient method to prepare Ag NPs on solid that can be applied in the veterinary sector against ringworm.

“…However, in order to have an accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to carry out the isolation of the fungus through cultures and microscopic identification. For the mycological culture, it is necessary to obtain a sample of the infected tissue by scraping or plucking the affected area, but first it is important to clean it in order to reduce the presence of environmental contaminating fungi (Parmar et al 2018;Paryuni et al 2020). The main disadvantage of conventional diagnosis is the growth time of dermatophytes.…”

Development and standardize of PCR for diagnose of most common equine dermatophytes was carried out. We used one reference strain and four isolates characterized by routinely methods from clinical samples. Sabouraud broth was used to obtain the fungal mass by long 8 days incubation. Once the mass was dried, it was pulverized with liquid nitrogen in a mortar and deposited in tubes to obtained DNA by phenolic extraction. NCBI GenBank data were used for the primer design, the sequences were aligned manually and once the initiators were selected, they were placed in the DNAMAN program, in order to differentiate the five species involved. We diagnosed successfully common dermatophytes in Equidae by standardized PCR test. A total of 50 samples were used for the challenge test, 22 have been declared positive by conventional diagnostic methods, and the remaining samples were selected randomly the obtained results were similar compared with conventional test. M. canis primers were highly sensitive. For the others species we need more samples to corroborate the usefulness of the test.
