dc.description.abstract | Although both Dermatophilus congolensis and Microsporum gypseum infections
have been reported separately in camels, mixed infection involving both agents
has not been reported to date. The authors describe a mixed infection of
D. congolensis and M. gypseum in camels reared on a dairy farm in Saudi Arabia.
A total of 131 out of 559 camels (23.4%) were affected. Forty-eight camels less
than one year of age had discrete, circumscribed, crusty, hairless lesions, found
in particular on the neck and forelegs. Eighty-three camels of varying ages had
extensive hair matting with crusty, hairless lesions, especially on the flanks.
Camel calves and young camels demonstrated a relatively greater amount of skin
lesions. D. congolensis and M. gypseum were diagnosed by direct microscopy,
isolation and histopathology. | en |
