In this study at the IPB Taman Kencana campus, researchers found that all examined stray cats were infested with ectoparasites, primarily Ctenocephalides felis fleas, leading to health issues such as anemia and stress.

In this study, the combination of petroleum ether extracts from Jacquinia ruscifolia flowers and Thuja orientalis strobili demonstrated synergistic larvicidal effects against third-instar Culex quinquefasciatus larvae, achieving 100% mortality at 250 ppm with noted synergism particularly in a 1:2 ratio.

This study describes unique anatomical characteristics of the skin and hair structures in the silver marmoset, including features such as thin epidermis, specialized nerve end-organs, and distinctive gland compositions.

This study found that Mueller-Hinton Agar performed better than Dermasel Agar for antifungal susceptibility testing of feline dermatophytes, providing reliable susceptibility data for effective antifungal therapy.

This study reported a case of equine ringworm infection in a 2-year-old horse caused by Nannizzia gypsea, confirmed through culture and SYBR-Green real-time PCR techniques, demonstrating that qPCR allows specific detection of dermatophytes more rapidly than conventional methods.

This study observed that dermatophytosis, primarily caused by fungi like M. canis, is the most common fungal skin infection in cats, often resolving spontaneously except in young or immunocompromised animals.

This study found that comma hairs are a distinctive feature of tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis, distinguishing it from alopecia areata, which is characterized by exclamation mark hairs.

This study reports an abnormal onion-shaped swelling on the hair shafts of some Abyssinian cats, affecting the appearance of their coat, though skin and hair structures appear normal under the microscope.

This study detected sarcoptic mange in five free-ranging raccoon dogs in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, with four showing severe skin lesions and potential secondary bacterial infections, suggesting they may act as vectors in disease spread.

In this study, researchers observed that alopecia prevalence varies in gray bats throughout the summer, with higher rates in lactating females, who also exhibit more severe lesions, but found no link between subcutaneous mites and fur loss.

In this case study, the researchers diagnosed a young male cat with dermatitis caused by a fungal infection, specifically identifying Penicillium and Aspergillus species, and observed improvement in symptoms following a two-week treatment with grisofulvin, chlorphenamine maleate, and fish oil shampoo.

This study is the first to document significant age-related pathologies in endangered captive Julia Creek dunnarts, highlighting hormonal dysregulation and reproductive issues in females, while males exhibited higher occurrences of cutaneous diseases and testicular degeneration, providing valuable insight for conservation efforts.

This report presents the first known case of tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis in an adult female in the authors' locality, responsive to oral fluconazole treatment.

This study found 100% efficacy in treating psoroptosis in sheep and wild goats using macrolide injections "Iveron-10" and "Dectomax," complemented by "Butox-50" bathing in sheep, though infestation initially affected all animals with varied severity.

In this study, researchers found that a single oral dose of afoxolaner was safe and effective in treating a severe case of Trixacarus caviae mange in a guinea pig, achieving full remission of clinical signs and mite eradication within 4 weeks without needing repeated treatment.

This report documents the first case associating Staphylococcus simulans with dermatitis in pygmy hedgehogs.

This study found that camera trap images revealed mange-like skin lesions in snow leopards and other species in Kyrgyz reserves, with detection rates varying widely and raising concerns about disease spread.

This study reports that different animal species exhibit distinct hair scale patterns and elemental compositions, which can aid forensic investigations in identifying animal hair.

In this study, non-dermatophyte moulds, particularly Aspergillus and Penicillium species, were phenotypically characterized in dogs and cats with suspected mycotic dermatitis, revealing their potential role in dermatological disorders among companion animals and emphasizing the importance of conventional mycological identification techniques.

This study found that all healthy cats tested were carriers of *Microsporum canis*, and 86.66% of dogs carried this fungus, with further positive cultures for other dermatophytes and yeasts suggesting these animals may contribute to environmental fungal spread.

In this case report, a 2-year-old cat with bilateral otitis externa and scabiosis was treated with a combination of antiparasitic, antibiotic, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory medications, leading to significant clinical improvement after 10 days.

In this case report, a young goat with mixed ectoparasitic infestations including Psoroptes spp. showed significant clinical improvement and resolution of skin lesions after treatment with ivermectin-based therapy and supportive care, illustrating the importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive management for recovery.

This study in Mosul City, Iraq, examined mange infestation in rabbits, finding that 43.1% of 130 rabbits were infested, with Sarcoptes scabiei var. cuniculi being most prevalent, and noted no significant gender differences but age-related variations in infestation rates.

This study observed an outbreak of dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton species in farmed mink in the USA, affecting primarily dark-colored kits with skin lesions.

This case report highlights the simultaneous presence of white piedra, identified as T. inkin, and pediculosis capitis in one patient to emphasize their clinical distinctions.

This case study documented a capuchin monkey with dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis, successfully treated with itraconazole, marking the first such report and treatment description for this species.

This study presented a case of tinea capitis in a 4-year-old without typical symptoms and traced the infection to Microsporum canis carried by domestic cats, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, especially in households with pets.

This case report describes a Persian cat with dermatophytic pseudomycetoma that initially responded to griseofulvin treatment and surgical excision, but the condition relapsed, ultimately leading to the cat's death.

In this study, germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa showed anti-androgenic effects by inhibiting 5α-reductase, suggesting its potential as a lead compound for treating androgen-dependent disorders.
