| detection and characterization of zoonotic dermatophytes from dogs and cats in and around kolkata. | the ringworms of pet dogs, cats, and stray animals (dogs, cats, and other animals) could be a potential source of zoonotic infections causing a serious public health problem in the busy city kolkata. the pet owners are more susceptible to get this infection from their pets, because of the close contact with them as dermatophytosis is very much prevalent in those pets. so, this study was aimed to check the prevalence of dermatophytosis in dogs, cats, and in pet owners. | 2015 | 27047202 |
| anti-fungal potential of ozone against some dermatophytes. | dermatophytes are classified in three genera, epidermophyton, microsporum and trichophyton. they have the capacity to invade keratinized tissue to produce a cutaneous infection known as dermatophytoses. this investigation was performed to study the effect of gaseous ozone and ozonized oil on three specific properties of six different dermatophytes. these properties included sporulation, mycelia leakage of sugar and nutrients and the activity of their hydrolytic enzymes. generally, ozonized oil w ... | 2017 | 27287337 |
