“…For example, in human patients older than 16 years, females are more frequently infected than males [ 8 ]. In dogs and cats, male and young individuals develop more frequently clinical lesions also according to their breed (i.e., Yorkshire terriers, Jack Russell Terrier, and Pekingese) [ 4 , 9 ]. M. canis transmission occurs through direct contact with sick or subclinically infected animals, mainly cats, or with arthrospores, that remain viable in the environment for up to 18 months [ 10 ].…”

Microsporum canis is a worldwide diffused zoophilic dermatophyte which causes clinical conditions often characterised by multifocal alopecia, scaling, and circular lesions in many animal species, including humans. A large variety of oral and topical antifungal protocols is available for treating M. canis infection. However, the efficacy of these drugs and treatment protocols is variable, with treatment failure up to 40% of patients possibly due to resistance phenomena. The lack of standardised reference methods for evaluating the antifungal susceptibility of M. canis represents a major hindrance in assessing microbiological resistance in unresponsive clinical cases. Therefore, data about conventional therapy against M. canis and the protocols employed to test the antifungal activity of the most commonly employed drugs (i.e., azoles, polyenes, allylamines, and griseofulvin) have been summarised herein. This article focuses on technical parameters used for antifungal susceptibility tests, their effects on the minimum inhibitory concentration value, as well as their clinical implications.

“…Among the treatments already described are castration, melatonin, trilostane, deslorelin and microneedling Frank & Watson, 2013;Adamo, 2018). Although there are several studies reporting the adoption of these, often the results with hormonal therapies are inconsistent (Bourguignon et al, 2013).…”

Alopecia X (AX) is a non-inflammatory and non-pruritic skin disease characterized by progressive hair loss. The most commonly affected dogs are male Pomeranian, Chow-Chow and Poodles. Although there is a similarity with endocrinopathies that course with dermatological changes, AX does not bring systemic harm to affected dogs. The diagnosis is based on the exclusion of other diseases that lead to hair loss, in addition to systemic diseases. As it is a disease rarely reported in the literature, the objective of the present work is to make a retrospective study of seven cases of dogs with AX treated in clinical routine, from diagnosis to therapeutic results. At the time, the dogs received a similar therapeutic approach, which consisted of the orchiectomy process, followed by supplementation with omega-3 and vitamin complex. Only one dog was not neutered, due to constant platelet changes. Two dogs underwent the microneedling technique due to partial response to conventional treatment and only one of them showed complete repilation. From the above, it is considered that AX is a disease present in the dermatological routine of dogs and that the recognition of its lesion pattern is important for a better diagnostic and therapeutic direction. In addition, it was observed that, although all the therapies employed resulted in an improvement in hair growth, the therapeutic response was variable, so that some dogs may not show complete repilation. Further researches involving therapy comparison are encouraged in order to provide a better understading of their efficiency.

“…Lapisan epidermis merupakan lapisan terluar kulit yang penyusunnya yaitu sel keratinosit, melanosit, sel langerhans (Bourguignon et al, 2013), dan sel merkel (Kalangi, 2013). Lapisan Dermis merupakan lapisan kedua kulit yang penyusunya berupa stratum papilaris dan stratum retikularis dengan batas antara kedua lapisan tidak tegas (Kalangi, 2013) (2013).…”

“…Hasil pengamatan ditemukan adanya segmen parasitik yang menimbulkan hiperkeratosis (Putra et al, 2019;Solanki et al, 2011). Selain hal tersebut hiperkeratosis terjadi karena adanya inflamasi sel radang, trauma, adanya reaksi immunologi dan kekurangan vitamin A (Bourguignon et al, 2013).…”

Kulit merupakan organ terbesar pada anjing yang berfungsi untuk mengatasi adanya agen asing baik dari eksogen maupun endogen. Salah satu gangguan kesehatan pada kulit anjing adalah dermatitis dan dapat ditemukan hampir pada suluruh bagian tubuh. Penelitan ini bertujuan untuk mengamati perubahan struktur histologi kulit anjing jantan maupun betina yang menderita dermatitis pada bagian ekstremitas caudal, dorsum, dan abdomen. Sebanyak 24 sampel penelitian berupa organ kulit dikumpulkan dari pasien di Rumah Sakit Hewan Pendidikan Universitas Udayana. Hasil penelitian menunjukan tidak ada perbedaan (P>0,05), struktur histologi kulit anjing jantan dan betina yang menderita dermatitis, baik kulit dari bagian ekstremitas caudal, dorsum dan abdomen. Perubahan histologi yang ditemukan berupa: segmen parasitik, hiperkeratosis, nekrosis, degenerasi, edema, hiperplasia, infiltrasi sel lemak stratum retikularis, dan infiltrasi sel - sel radang. Infiltrasi sel-sel radang neutrofil, dan makrofag banyak ditemukan di bagian dermis sedangkan basofil ditemukan pada bagian epidermis.
