Abstract:
Dermatophytosis is an endemic superficial zoonotic fungal infectious disease seen in many countries of the world affecting humans, cats, dogs, cattle, laboratory animals such as rabbits. T. verrucosum considered the main cause of ringworm in cattle. Cattle typically have circular, white-gray crust-shaped lesions on the skin on the neck and head. This study was carried out on a total of 40 native and crossbred cattle, 20 clinically healthy cattle and 20 clinical cases of dermatophytosis. The influence of dermatophytosis on lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant system was investigated. Serum MDA, TAS, TOS, GSH, GPx, SOD and CAT level were measured in groups. Cattle in group dermatophytosis had significantly higher MDA and TOS level and TAS, GSH levels, GPx, SOD and CAT activities were significantly lower (P < 0.001). These findings suggest a relationship between dermatophytosis, the oxidant-antioxidant system and lipid peroxidation.
