Dermatophytosis or ringworm is a superficial cutaneous infection with one or more of the fungal species of the keratinophilic genera. The genera include Microsporum, Trichophyton and Epidermophyton which were zoonotic and have a great public health impact. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of specific types of fungus that are responsible for dermatophytosis among the hospitalized rabbits at SAQ-Teaching Veterinary Hospital (SAQTVH) of Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU), Bangladesh. A total of 9 skin scraping samples were collected by using scalpel from the rabbit that were suspected as dermatophytosis based on gross lesion on their body surface. Some samples (Hair and scrapings) were mounted for direct examination in 40% KOH and heated for 60 seconds and examined under light microscope in 400 magnifications to observe fungal morphology. Rest of the samples was preserved at room temperature (25°c) in zipper bag for fungal isolation and identification. Sabouraud's dextrose agar plates, containing 0.02% Cycloheximide and 0.3% Depomycin was used to fungal culture and the specific types of funguses were identified based on colony characteristics. Trichophyton Mentagrophytes was the most common fungal species isolated from rabbits. Among the suspected patients the prevalence of T. Mentagrophytes was 89%.There observed insignificant (p>0.05) effects of sex, age, body weight and deworming status for the occurrence of dermatophytosis in rabbit. The current study limited only on the hospitalized suspected patients, so a comprehensive study considering the sample from whole rabbit population is required to find out the actual prevalence of the fungal species.

“…Both genera are known as keratinolytic fungi (Kushwaha & Agarwal, 1976;Singh, 2014). Gliocladium virens, G. roseum G. solani, G. viride Ulocladium alternariae and U. chartarum have a keratinolytic activity (Kaul & Sumbali, 1997;Ali-Shtayeh, et al, 1988 andAwad, 2017). Chrysosporium topicum and Penicillium waksmanii recorded the lowest counts (2 colonies; 1.6% of total counts and 2.9% of all samples).…”

“…Mahmoud (1993) isolated Penicillium chrysogenum, P. funiculosum, P. vadabile as cycloheximide-resistant fungi from ringworm infected camels. Those two fungal genera could degrade keratin (Kaul and Sumbali, 1997;Ali-Shtayeh, 1988, andSingh, 2014). Interestingly, the difference in using two techniques (A and B) was clear in the incubation time whereas, B-technique incubation time was shorter (7-10 days) than A-technique (> 21 days).…”

Ficus sycomorus antifungal efficacy against some dermatophytes and other associated fungi isolated from Camels ringworm lesions was investigated in this study. Camel shows a high importance part of the national livestock population in Egypt including transportation in the desert and as a source of milk and meat. In this study, a total of 26 fungal species appertaining to 13 genera were recovered from camel hair and skin lesion samples. The most dominant fungal genera were Aspergillus followed by Trichophyton and Microsporum. The medicinal plant, Ficus sycomorus methanol fractions 20% and 40% of root, stem-bark and leaf showed a promised antifungal activity against isolated fungi. Whereas, all tested dermatophytic fungi (Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. erinacei, Microsporum audouinii and M. gypsum) and the cycloxamide-resistance fungi (Fennellia nivea, Choaenophora cucurbitarum , Aspergillus carneus and A. fumigatus) showed high sensitivity to 40% methanol fraction except Fennellia nivea which showed the highest sensitivity to the stem-bark (20% methanol fraction). In the HPLC analysis for flavonoids content of the methanolic fractions (20% and 40%) of the different plant part (stem-bark, leaf and fruit), twenty-one compounds were detected. F. sycomorus plant extracts possess a potent antifungal effect, especially with dermatophytes.

Fungal skin diseases are well-recognized diseases with public health implications. The study provides a comprehensive overview and aims to determine the rate of positive fungal cultures to identify the most common fungal species in guinea pigs and rabbits and to determine the rate of asymptomatic carriers in healthy pet animals. This knowledge is essential for understanding disease transmission dynamics and epidemiological situation problems. A total of 167 animals (64 rabbits and 103 guinea pigs) were investigated in this study. The fungi of the genus Penicillium, Rhizopus, Mucor, Cladosporium, and Aspergillus were the most common in the examined animals, and they were isolated from 162 (97%) of the animals enrolled. No fungal growth was observed in 5 animals. In 15 cases (8.98%), we found pathogenic zoonotic dermatophytes (Trichophyton mentagrophytes), which caused several health problems in two humans in contact with affected animals. This study presents the prevalence of fungal flora in pet guinea pigs and rabbits in Slovakia.
