Ringworm Ringworm is a contagious fungus infection that can affect the scalp, the body, the feet (athlete's foot), or the nails. People can get Ringworm from: 1) direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or pet, 2) indirect contact with an object or surface that an infected person or pet has touched, or 3) rarely, by contact with soil. Ringworm can be treated with fungus-killing medicine. To prevent Ringworm, 1) make sure all infected persons and pets get appropriate treatment, 2) avoid contact with infected persons and pets, 3) do not share personal items, and 4) keep common-use areas clean. What is Ringworm? Ringworm is a contagious fungus infection that can affect the scalp, the body (particularly the groin), the feet, and the nails Despite its name, it has nothing to do with worms The name comes from the characteristic red ring that can appear on an infected person's skin Ringworm is also called Tinea What is the infectious agent that causes Ringworm?

The Feline Advisory Bureau Information Sheets 16. Ringworm in cats Ringworm is an infection caused by a fungus that grows in the dead, surface layers of the skin, hair or claws. It has nothing to do with worms. The scientific name for ringworm is dermatophytosis and the fungi which cause the disease are called dermatophytes. There are approximately 40 difrerent spceis of dermatophyte, each tending to cause infection in particular species of hosts. In the cat, the cause of more than 90% of cases of ringworm is the dermatophyte Microsporum canis (M canis) . This organism can also cause infection in many other species, including dogs and humans. Other dermatophytes that may cause ringworm in cats are Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum persicolor, which can be acquired by contact with infected wild rodents. How do cats become infected with M canis Ringworm is contagious. Spores are the infectious stage of dermatophytes and are produced by M canis during an infection. They are typically found in clusters around infected hairs and can only be seen using a microscope. Infected hairs are shed into the cat's environment. Cats may become infected either by direct contact with an infected animal or by exposure to a contaminated environment or object, such as grooming tools, clippers or bedding. Spores in the environment are very robust and without treatment can remain infectious for approximately two years. Spores attach to the skin and germinate to produce hyphae that invade skin and hair. It is not known how many spores are needed to start an infection. Self-grooming, particularly licking, may be an effective way of harmlessly removing spores from the skin and haircoat. Intact skin is very resistant to infection. Cats with pre-existing skin disease or other conditions resulting in skin trauma such as flea, lice or mite infestations are much more likely to become infected following exposure to spores.

7. Tinea Infections: Athlete's Foot, Jock Itch And Ringworm Brochure from the American Academy of Family Physicians explaining tinea infections, symptoms, treatments and prevention techniques. http://familydoctor.org/handouts/316.html

Information from Your Family Doctor Tinea Infections: Athlete's Foot, Jock Itch and Ringworm What is tinea? Tinea is a fungus that can grow on your skin, hair or nails. As it grows, it spreads out in a circle, leaving normal-looking skin in the middle. This makes it look like a ring. At the edge of the ring, the skin is lifted up by the irritation and looks red and scaly. To some people, the infection looks like a worm is under the skin. Because of the way it looks, tinea infection is often called "ringworm." However, there really isn't a worm under the skin. How did I get a fungal infection? You can get a fungal infection by touching a person who has one. Some kinds of fungi live on damp surfaces, like the floors in public showers or locker rooms. You can easily pick up a fungus there. You can even catch a fungal infection from your pets. Dogs and cats, as well as farm animals, can be infected with a fungus. Often this infection looks like a patch of skin where fur is missing. What areas of the body are affected by tinea infections? Fungal infections are named for the part of the body they infect. Tinea corporis is a fungal infection of the skin on the body. ("Corporis" is the Latin word for body.) If you have this infection, you may see small, red spots that grow into large rings almost anywhere on your arms, legs or chest.

this is a primer on the fundamental knowledge we have about Ringworm, pertaining to cause, mode of infection clinical signs diagnosis ... treatmen t, vaccination and control . Much more detail can be found in veterinary textbooks and journals. For more depth, the reader is referred to issues of the The Compendium of Continuing Education, published in November and December, 1995. Cause: The common name, "ringworm", is somewhat confusing since the disease is NOT caused by a worm, but rather by one of several species of fungi. The medical term for infection is " dermatophytosis ". Causative fungi are sometimes found as normal inhabitants of soil. However, more often than not, contaminated households, kennels and catteries readily serve as sources of infection, as decontamination of these areas can be extremely difficult. Some infections can be spread from a single animal to another animal or rarely, to a human. The disease itself has a very low mortality but in ill-thrifty animals, invasion of the compromised outer skin layers (see below) by other organisms is possible and severe illness may ensue. I nfection: Clinical signs result from penetration and digestion of the non-viable outer skin layer and of hair shafts by infective fungal elements. Some strains can also invade "living" tissue as well. Immune and inflammatory responses to organisms and their metabolic by-products contribute, in part, to the appearance of gross lesions (see below). In rare instances, an infected hair follicle may rupture and spread organisms to tissue beneath the skin (subcutaneous tissue) producing a firm, sometimes painful nodule known as a "pseudomycetoma".

Ringworm Introduction Cause Symptoms Diagnosis ... Prevention Introduction An occasional cause of skin conditions in pets is caused by Ringworm. The scientific name for this disease is Dermatophytosis. It is caused by a fungus not a worm, and the lesion is not always in the shape of a ring. Since fungi are everywhere in our environment, it is difficult to determine which pets will develop the problem. The fungus that causes Ringworm can be cultured from the hair coats of normal dogs and cats. These pets might be carriers of the disease to other pets, and might even transmit the disease to people. We tend to see the problem more in young animals and those with compromised immune systems (for example- FeLV People will sometimes pick up a case of Ringworm from their pet, but just because a pet has Ringworm does not necessarily mean that the people that interact with that pet will develop the problem. A dog or cat can transmit Ringworm to a person without showing any symptoms at all. Cause There are 3 specific fungi of significance in this disease. Microsporum canis The source of this species of Ringworm is almost always a cat, especially long-haired cats.

Welcome to our Scuttlers' Page! I want to introduce you to our two scuttlers, guinea pigs Lilith and Tallulah, and to tell you about them, and especially their brush with ringworm at 8 weeks old (and how we treated them!). But first, see how beautiful they are now...... Sadly, Lilith Pig died on 2 April 2002, aged 4 years old, after a 6-week illness. Her passing was peaceful, but we all miss her very much. Please enjoy this site in her memory. November 2000 - Lilith and Tallulah were selected as Pets of the Month at Planet Expat! Click here October 1998 (aged 6 months) October 2000 (aged two and a half years) Lilith is the pig on the left. She is a Sheltie (Silkie) crossbreed and so has long silky hair. Tallulah, on the right, is a Texel, and so has fine, long wavy hair. Both were born in early April 1998. Although both are about the same age, Lilith is much larger than Tallulah. This is not a tribble, this is Tallulah, at about four months old, before her long hair had really begun to grow. See the picture on the right above to see how fluffy she is now.

Two weeks later, I got another sore on my leg. It was just one, and the Spectazole probably kept it form spreading. I also treated her patch, about the size of a dime, on her back, with a drop of iodine and the same cream I am using. We went back to the vets yesterday because I am very concerned that I can't stop the cycle of this fungus. She ordered the ringworm vacination and we will start the series of shots in three weeks. Meanwhile they will be bathed in a 2.5% Benzyol peroxide shampoo one every 10 days and sprayed twice a day with a mild solution of the chlorhexiderm.

18. The Ringworm Page WHAT KIND OF INFECTION IS IT? ringworm is the common name for the skin infectioncaused by a special group of fungi; it is not caused by a worm at all. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_ringworm.html

WHAT KIND OF INFECTION IS IT? "Ringworm" is the common name for the skin infection caused by a special group of fungi; it is not caused by a worm at all. The fungi feed upon the dead cells of skin and hair causing, in people, a classic round, red lesion with a ring of scale around the edges and normal recovering skin in the center. Because the ring of irritated, itchy skin looked like a worm, the infection was erroneously named. The fungi responsible are called "dermatophytes," meaning "plants that live on the skin" thus the more correct term for ringworm is "dermatophytosis." The characteristic "ring" appearance is primarily a human phenomenon. In animals, ringworm frequently looks like a dry, grey, scaly patch but can also mimic any other skin lesion and have any appearance. WHERE WOULD MY PET PICK UP THIS INFECTION? The spores of dermatophyte fungi are extremely hardy in the environment; they can live for years. All it takes is skin contact with a spore to cause infection. Infected animals are continuously dropping spore-covered hairs as infected hairs break off into the environment. Some animals are carriers, who never show signs of skin irritation themselves but can infect others readily. There are several species of dermatophyte fungi. Different species of fungi come from different kinds of animals or even from soil thus determining the ringworm species can help determine the source of the fungal infection.
