Abstract
This work was carried out to investigate the role of cattle in transmitting some dermatophytes of zoonotic importance.
330 samples of hairs and skin scraps were collected including 221 from infected with skin lesions and 109 clinically healthy. Also 90 samples from human beings suffering from ring worm lesions including 56 cases of tinea corporis, 16 cases of tinea pedis, 14 cases of tinea cruris and 4 samples of tinea barbae.
The obtained results revealed the followings:
1. Dermatophytes isolated from infected cattle:
Trichophyton verrucosum was isolated from Friesian and Charolais at percentage of 65.57 and 50.91% respectively. In addition, Trichophyton inentagrophytes could be isolated from Friesian and Charolais at percentage of 6.63 and 7.27% respectively with a total ringworm infection rate in Friesian and Charolais was 72.20 and 58.18%. Moreover, derinatophytes isolated from infected cattle was higher in calves under 1 year (71.78 and 56.61%) and in winter season (73.33 and 50.0%), for Friesian and Charolais respectively.
