| Abstract |
Out of 486 cattle examined for ringworm, 107(22.01%) cases proved to be infected with Trichophyton spp. by direct microscopy and culture methods. Histopahtological studies of skin biopsies before treatment revealed marked hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, acanthosis, acantholysis and leukocytic infiltration. Higher incidence of the disease was recorded in winter and spring and in calves 3 months - 1 year old. The major clinical lesions observed in the affected animals were thick, circumscribed area of alopecia, most commonly present on neck, head and around the eyes; the tail and limbs are minimally affected. The lesions persisted for three months or more. Measurement of the total blood serum. protein and electrophoretic pattern of the serum obtained from infected and healthy animals revealed significant increase in gamma fraction of globnlin in healthy than infected ones. In contrast serum. total protein, albumin, alpha and beta fractions of globnlin showed non significant alterations among both groups. Using ELISA, the total immunoglobulins (Ig) G were significantly higher in healthy than infected ones whereas the total immunoglobulins (Ig) M showed non significant differences. Tr. Iodine 5% and preparation containing 2.5% Benzoic, 2.5% Salicylic acid and 2% lactic acid in absolute ethanol were used in treatment. The best rapid, clinical, mycological and histopathological improvements were obtained with the preparation after 4 applications one-day interval.
