“…The recovery status of both treatment groups is clearly illustrated in Figure 2. These results indicate that HOCl may also be an effective agent, similar to the results of different anti-mycotic trials on dermatophytosis (Ertaş et al, 2015;Odorcic et al, 2015;Wisal, 2018;Choi et al, 2019;Endo et al, 2020;Indarjulianto et al, 2020;Romanowski et al, 2020;Brescini et al, 2021).…”

“…Micosporum (especially M. canis), Trichophyton and Epidermophyton spp. are the main agents of the disease (Yapicier et al, 2017;Wisal, 2018;Hanedan et al, 2021). Dermatophytosis is also called by different names such as fungus, ringworm, trichopytosis, Candidia and Yeast, depending on its localization on the organism, host type or similar condition (Şimay, 2014).…”

Dermatophytosis is a mycotic disease of the skin that is resistant to treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the treatment efficacy of a novel antimicrobial agent, Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL), on dermatophytosis of cats and dogs, in comparison with Ketaconazole. In this study, a total of 76 animals (26 cats and 50 dogs) without any disease other than skin fungal infection after clinical, hematological, biochemical, microscopic and Wood's lamp examinations were used. Subjects were randomly assigned to two equal treatment groups within their own species as HOCL: HP and Ketaconazole: KT. Naked eye inspection results were collected on the 8th, 11th and 15th days of all patients. The study was terminated on the 15th day by collecting the Wood's lamp and microscopic examination data together with the last inspection finding. Findings were analyzed statistically with chi-square and CART (Classification and Regression Tree) algorithm test. Inspection results of the treatment groups exhibited significant recovery over time (day 8, 11 and 15) for both species (p0.05). According to the microscopic examination results, a significant statistical difference was observed between the HP and KT groups (p0.05). As a result, it was concluded that HOCl has an effect on dermatophytosis of cat and dogs, although not as much as Ketaconazole, but further studies are needed to reveal the results more clearly.

“…Identification is carried out by microscopic and macroscopic observations, a skin swab is taken from the skin of an infected dog using the Mackenzie method, a sterile toothbrush is gently rubbed from the dog's skin onto Saboraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) media (Abdalla&Wisal, 2018) [17] , SDA is mixed with gentamicin to prevent bacterial growth. After 3-5 days of incubation of the media at 25-27 °C, the media will be examined based on the morphological characteristics of the colony: mycelial aspect (cotton or thin), border shape (regular or irregular), colony coloration (black, moss green, or gray), the back side of the colony (with or without dark pigmentation), and the absence or presence of conidia (Santos et al 2018) [18] .…”

Fungal diseases in animals are often ignored, but the economic losses due to fungal infections are quite disturbing, damage to skin, fur and the potential for zoonoses need to be considered. A lot of fungi are widespread in the environment but many of their species are not well understood especially their roles in human and animal health. This research aims to study further about the identification process using morphology and molecular method of Cladosporium fungi that found in dog's skin. The sample for this study was a fungal isolate from the skin of a Bali dog which was suspected to be infected with a fungus. Identification is carried out by microscopic and macroscopic observations using Saboraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) media. The molecular methods are using the PCR ITS1 and ITS4 primers and GeneJET PCR Purification Kit. The result showed that 30% of the samples are identified as Cladosporium fungi, with the specific species is Cladosporium tenuissimum.

Background: Dermatophytosis is one of the most common skin diseases that affects cats and dogs. Geographic factors play an important role in determining prevalence, showing high rates of prevalence in warm and humid environments. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the macroscopic and microscopic identification of different types of dermatophytes present on stray dogs. Methods: The design of this study was laboratory-based research. Each sample was collected from an infection site (nail, hair, or skin) that was identified by conducting a physical examination of a stray dog that was infected with fungi. The skin scraping, nail clipping, and fur cutting samples were collected from infected dogs and then cultured on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA). The cultures were incubated at 26°C for five weeks. The isolates of fungi were then examined macroscopically and microscopically. The Lactophenol Cotton Blue (LPCB) staining technique was used for fungi morphology identification. Results: Overall, the most common type of dermatophytes that affected the dogs were Trichophyton spp. (64.70%), Aspergillus spp. (10.10%), Microsporum spp. (7.20%), and Curvularia spp. (5.60%). Conclusion: This study revealed the most common dermatophyte infections found on stray dogs in Selangor, Malaysia. This study can assist investigators in understanding the prevalence of the dermatophyte burden in stray dogs and help prevent further complication, such as the spread of illness, especially zoonotic infection.
