Abstract
Dermatophyte infection or ringworm is a superficial cutaneous infection with one or more of the fungal species of the keratinophilic genera Microsporum, Trichophyton, or Epidermophyton and is a zoonosis with a great impact on public health. Three skin scraping were collected from suspected clinical cases of rabbits aged 6 months. Samples were directly examined in 20% KOH and cultured in Sabouraud’s dextrose agar. The developed colonies were identified by conventional methods. The dermatophyte isolated was Trichophyton verrucosum.
