“…The typical lesion in cattle is a heavy, grayish-white crust that is raised perceptibly above the skin, affecting young calves' more than adult cattle (Cam et al, 2007;Akbarmehr, 2011). Dermatophytosis had been considered the most common zoonosis worldwide, affecting more children than adults (Achterman and White, 2012).…”

An outbreak of ringworm in young calves is reported from Vom in Nigeria. Twelve out of fourteen calves were observed to have skin lesions consistent with dermatophytosis. Lesions were seen mostly around the eyes and neck. Skin scrapings were collected from the affected areas and processed for mycology. Trichophyton verrucosum was isolated from all the affected calves. This study has shown that T. verrucosum can be a problem to watch for in calves in this particular environment, both as a zoonosis and economic importance as a result of damage to hides and skin. The need to study the prevalence of the disease among the cattle population in the state and country with a view to instituting preventive and control measures was emphasized.

“…Various pharmaceutical products and vaccines are used for the treatment and control of dermatophytosis, which is prevalent in Turkey and across the world 3,6,[13][14][15] . In this study, a pomade containing 1% tioconazole, used locally in human medicine for the treatment of fungal infections owing to its eff ectiveness against certain fungal species was applied to the skin lesions observed in cattle with an aim to determine its eff ectiveness in the treatment of bovine dermatophytosis.…”

SummaryThis study consisted of twenty-five dermatophytotic cattle, aged 1.5-11 months obtained from Kars province and its surrounding, diagnosed as dermatophytosis following clinical and microbiologically. All animals were divided into two groups; trial group (n=15) and control group (n=10). The skin lesions of the trial animals were treated using a pomade containing 1% tioconazole once daily for a period of 5 days. In 12 of the trial animals the amount of keratinized tissue found in the dermatophytosis lesions decreased significantly following the 3 rd application and had disappeared completely after the 5 th application. On the other hand, the remaining 3 animals in the trial group were applied the medicament seven times due to the persistence of keratinized tissue in the lesions. In all of the animals administered with tioconazole, new hair growth in the site of the lesions resumed in the 3 rd -4 th weeks and complete recovery occurred within 7-8 weeks. In conclusion, 1% tioconazole, used for the first time for the treatment of bovine dermatophytosis in this study was found to be rather effective owing to its ease of application and strong therapeutic effect. Keywords: Cattle, Dermatophytosis, Tioconazole Sığır Dermatofitozisinin Tedavisinde %1'lik Tiokonazol'ün Lokal Kullanımının Etkinliği ÖzetÇalışma materyalini, Kars ve çevre köylerinden sağlanan, 1,5-11 aylık yaşta, klinik ve mikrobiyolojik olarak dermatofitozis tanısı konulan 15 deneme ve 10 kontrol olmak üzere, toplam 25 sığır oluşturdu. Deneme grubundaki hayvanların derilerindeki lezyonların üzerine %1 tiokonazol içeren kremden 5 gün boyunca günde 1 kez sürüldü. Deneme grubundaki hayvanlardan 12'sinde 3. uygulamayı takiben, dermatofitoz lezyonlarındaki keratinize dokuların büyük oranda azaldığı, 5. uygulama sonunda ise tamamen kaybolduğu görülürken 3 hayvanda keratinize doku dökülmediği için 7. uygulamaya gidildi. İlaç uygulanan tüm hayvanlarda lezyonlu bölgelerde 3-4. haftalarda kıllanmanın başladığı, 7-8. haftalarda ise tamamen iyileştiği görüldü. Sonuç olarak, sığırlarda dermatofitozis olgularının tedavisinde ilk olarak denenen %1'lik tiokonazol'ün, kullanımının kolay olması ve tedavi edici etkisinin yüksek olması nedeniyle, sığırlarda dermatofitozis olgularının sağaltımında oldukça etkili bulunmuştur.

“…Ambient temperature, sunlight and such as moisture factors plays an important role in the spread of infection (9,10). Lesions are most frequently observed on the head (around the eyes and muzzle, and at the base of the ears), neck, back and perineum (9,11,12). Dematophytes invade the stratum corneum of the epidermis.…”

In this study, topical effectiveness of silver nitrate pencil on 33 dairy cows with ringworm (Fig. 1) was evaluated. The diameter, number and localized areas of lesions were recorded in each cattle. Later lesions were first cleansed with 70 % ethyl alcohol. Skin scraping and hair specimens were collected of the margin of the lesion using a sterile scalpel blade into sterile petri dish. Lesions were scraped with sterile scalpel until bleeding slightly. Later lesion area was cauterized with a silver nitrate (nitrate d'argent) pencil (Fig. 2). This procedure was only once. Samples taken were treated with 10% potassium hydroxide, the samples were observed under the microscope. The cattle were followed for one month. This topical application method is easily applicable (only for once), economic (in terms of labor and cost of silver nitrate pencil), and effective treatment (start the hair grown on the all lesions into one week) for ringworm. This method is especially suitable for organic livestock.
