In this study, topical effectiveness of silver nitrate pencil on 33 dairy cows with ringworm (Fig. 1) was evaluated. The diameter, number and localized areas of lesions were recorded in each cattle. Later lesions were first cleansed with 70 % ethyl alcohol. Skin scraping and hair specimens were collected of the margin of the lesion using a sterile scalpel blade into sterile petri dish. Lesions ...

THIS is the third annual report from the Mycological Diagnostic Laboratory, Department of Microbiology, Queen's University, and covers the work done during 1961.

Ringworm of the scalp is caused by several species of fungi; the most common being the Microsporon audouini, capable of causing widespread outbreaks, and Microsporon lanosum. Other species of fungi causing sporadic tinea capitis are the Microsporon fulvum, Achorion schoenleinii (favus), and other trichophyton organisms. This paper will deal chiefly with the Microsporon audouini infections. In r...
