The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of mycoflora in 30 samples of healthy goat's hair and sheep wool collected from different localities in Taif, Saudi Arabia, and the ability of some fungal isolates for keratinase activities. Sixty four species belonging to 28 genera were collected from the two substrates. The wool of sheep was polluted with fungi than goat hairs, and contained high total counts and number of fungal genera and species. Nine species of true dermatophytes isolated belonged to Microsporum (3 species) and Trichophyton (6 species). Several keratinophilic species were isolated of which, Chrysosporium indicum, Chrysosporium keratinophilum and Chrysosporium tropicum were the most prevalent. The commonest saprophytes in order of frequency were members of the genera, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Alternaria and Cochliobolus. In addition, the other genera found included Acremonium, Chaetomum, Cladosporium, Cochliobolus, Fusarium, Mucor, Paecilomyces, Phoma, Rhizopus, Scopulariopsis, Stachybotrys, Trichoderma and others. Five species from 20 tested isolates (Aspergillus niger, C. keratinophilum, C. tropicum, Microsporum gypseum and Trichoderma viride) had high keratinase activity. The results of this study indicate that both goat hair and sheep wool provide a suitable habitat for dermatophytes and other keratinophilic fungi. Most of these fungi play an important role in the degradation of keratin substrates, so that they can help preserve the environment and reduce pollution.

“…Dermatophytoses are the most common fungal infections in dogs and cats (Khosravi and Mahmoundi 2003), highly contagious but not life-threatening, treatable and curable, easily contracted by direct contact and of zoonotic importance (Moriello 2014). These fungi are classified according to their habitat in anthropophilic, geophilic, and zoophilic (Mattei et al 2014). The main etiological agents are Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum and Trichophyton menthagrophytes (Lewis et al 1991).…”

Combination of Systemic and Topical Treatment for Feline Dermatophytosis: A Case Report

Dermatophytoses or ringworm are the most common fungal infections in dogs and cats. This zoonotic disease is called dermatophytosis. A 2 years old male Persian cat referred to the Veterinary Clinic Faculty of Veterinary medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada with multi-focal circular non-pruritic skin lesions and hair loss mainly on the head and ears. A complete series of dermatologic tests such as Wood’s light examination, direct microscopic examination, and fungal culture were performed. The cat was treated with itraconazole dosage orally for a period of 20 days and ketoconazole topical for 35 days, respectively. Thirty five days after treatments the cat showed reduction of lesions.

“…The major pathogens are in the genera of Epidermophyton, Trichophyton, and Microsporum. The common dermatophytes in dogs are Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum canis, and Microsporum gypseum 1 . The clinical symptoms are generally mild, but the significance of the disease is its zoonotic ability and costly and time-consuming therapy.…”

Current antifungal drugs for canine dermatophytosis are effective but may cause adverse effects or drug resistance. In this study, three essential oils from Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & Perry, Piper betle, and Ocimum sanctum were investigated for their antifungal activities. Fungal organisms were standard strains and clinical isolates of Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum canis, and Microsporum gypseum. Minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) were evaluated. The composition of the essential oils was determined by GC/MS analysis. MIC and MFC tests indicated that the antifungal activities of these three essential oils were high (MIC range 0.2-1.6 µl/ml) and fungal samples from both sources had similar sensitivity to antifungal drug and essential oils. The results of essential oil analysis revealed that eugenol and its derivatives were the major components possessing antifungal activity. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the potential of all three essential oils as highly effective antifungal agents against canine dermatophytes.
