Abstract

Trichopyton verrucosum was identified in cutaneous lesions of three cattle and one goat. The diagnosis was established by demonstration of dermatophytes in skin lesions by direct microscopy in 10% Potassium hydroxide solution and isolation of fungus on Sabouraud dextrose medium. The detailed morphology of dermatophytes was studied in Narayan stain. Topical application of 2% solution of Tincture Iodine was prescribed for two cattle and one goat and aqueous extract of garlic for one cattle. All animals responded well with topical therapy without any side effects.
