Dermatophytosis in Bovine, Recent Clinical analysis, Treatment, and updated zoonotic infection: A Review Article

Abstract

Dermatophytosis is a worldwide disease caused by pathogenic keratinolytic fungi known as dermatophytes inside the cutaneous layer of both cattle and human skin. are divided into three categories: Microsporum species, Epidermophyton species, and Trichophyton species. Infected animals develop skin lesions with a thick, grey-white crust that rises above the skin approximately 3cm in diameter or more. The back, head, and perineum are the only places where lesions are localized; otherwise, the body is covered with them, with severe cases coalescing. Trichophyton verrucosum has the greatest prevalence in bovines. Many have also reviewed new herbal extract that has been employed as a substitute therapy for fungus activity (fungicide or fungistatic) in several non-filamentous and filamentous fungi species typically identified in veterinary clinical practice. This review aims to understand the acquired and innate responses briefly, and discovered the recent technique in the detection of fungi, with treatment by chemical, extract herbal plant, and incidence by chief causal fungal species, and the final method that increases the risk of zoonotic infections between bovine and human.
