Overview

Case report details dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton verrucosum in a Sokoto Red goat, indicating regional underreporting.

Key Points

  • Trichophyton verrucosum caused dermatophytosis in a 6-month-old Sokoto Red goat in Nigeria, highlighting its economic impact.
  • Microscopic examination revealed chains of large ectothrix spores characteristic of dermatophyte infections.
  • Culturing samples on Sabouraud’s dextrose agar at 37ºC produced typical chlamydospores, key for diagnosis.
  • Findings emphasize the need for vigilance in diagnosing dermatophytic infections in small ruminants in northern Nigeria.
