چکیده
A total of 727 samples (148 cattle, 579 buffalo) were examined for the presence of Dermatophilus congolensis using conventional microbiological techniques and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) during the period from June 2010 to May 2011. Dermatophilosis was identified in 109 samples (14.99%) by direct microscopic examination, isolation and PCR from skin scrapings, crusts, scabs and plucked hair. A history of trauma to the skin was evident in all the animals, which is the predisposing factor for establishment of disease. Dermatophilosis was more prevalent in monsoon season (21.77%), rural household animals (27.37%), young (1year old-52.17%), male (27.27%) and cross breed animals (40.56%). This appears to be season, management condition, breed and age had highly significant (p<0.01) influence on the occurrence of bovine Dermatophilosis.
