Out of 437 sheep inspected (1963 male and 2474 female), 242 (5.45%) sheep among 268
specimens collected from suspected cases of dermatophytosis, which had clinical lesions of
dermatophytic infections, that confirmed by positive culture on
(SDA+Chloramphenicol+Cycloheximide) supplemented with thiamine and yeast extract and /or by
direct microscopic examination using 10% KOH solution. The ringworm infections were varied
from summer months (June— October, 2005) to those of winter months (November.2005 to
March,2006) which were 59 (3.06%) and 183 (7.29%) respectively . The fungus affect both, the
.outer layers of the skin as well as wool. It was spread centrally outward causing more or less
circular areas of wool loss leaving scaly to powdery skin which was gray-white in color, measuring

only causative fungus isolated was Trichophyton verrucosum
