Abstract

Dermatophytosis is a fungal infection of the skin caused by dermatophytes fungi which have ability to invade the epidermis and keratinized structure derived from it such as hair or nails. T. equinum is the main cause of dermatophytosis in equine, all over the world. Clinical signs include mild to severe alopecia associated with erythema.  Horses less than 2 years old are more susceptible to infection. The disease can be diagnosed by clinical inspection and conventional methods like direct examination, fungal culture, skin biopsy and molecular diagnosis methods. This review will forecast more light of the different aspects of this disease.

Dermatophytosis equine clinical feature diagnosis treatment.
