In this case report, the authors describe a female dog with alopecia in the neck and ear region, affected by dermatophytosis caused by the zoophilic fungus Microsporum canis, highlighting its zoonotic potential and prevalence in certain climates.

This study suggests that Malassezia spp. overgrowth may contribute to pruritus and skin lesions in allergic cats, with antifungal treatments alone providing substantial improvements.

Androgen receptors found in monkey scalps, similar to humans, affect hair growth.

The study found Microsporum canis to be the most common cause of tinea capitis in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, with griseofulvin and topical imidazole effectively treating the infection.

In this case study, a Persian cat with dermatophytosis showed a reduction in skin lesions after being treated with oral itraconazole and topical ketoconazole.

This study found that Pomeranians with Alopecia X had fewer follicles per group, more fragile hair, and distinct hair cycle stages compared to non-alopecic Pomeranians, highlighting coat-type differences significant for diagnosing the condition.

This case report describes the effective treatment of psoroptic mange in Large White Yorkshire piglets using ivermectin, cefpodoxime, chlorpheniramine, povidone iodine, and Ascabiol lotion, resulting in full recovery and absence of mites.

This article discusses how dermoscopy, particularly "entomodermoscopy," aids in diagnosing skin infestations and infectious dermatoses, enhancing clinical evaluations, and monitoring treatment efficacy for conditions like scabies, pediculosis, myiasis, and tungiasis.

This abstract discusses Alopecic and aseptic nodule of the scalp as a rare alopecia condition that may be underdiagnosed and reports doxycycline as a safe and effective treatment option.

This study suggests that the floral secretions of Brasiliorchis schunkeana may attract Diptera as potential pollinators, but field observations are needed to confirm this pollination syndrome.

This study found that fruit extracts from certain Egyptian Sabal species demonstrated significant anti-androgenic activity and potential therapeutic effects against benign prostatic hyperplasia in rat models and cell lines.

In this case report, treatment with antibiotics, finasteride, and prostate omentalization restored fertility in a 6-year-old German Shepherd with prostatitis and astenoteratozoospermia, avoiding surgical castration.

This study reported that C. procera leaf extracts showed antifungal activity against several dermatophytes, with ethanol extracts demonstrating slightly greater efficacy than aqueous extracts.
