Abstract

In vitro study the fungicidal activity of herbal extracted lotion, KU Natural Miticide®, was bioassayed on 3 species of dermatophytes in dogs and cats; Microsporum canis, M. gypseum and Trichophyton mentagrophyte. Each fungus was cultured in 20 potato dextrose agar test tubes for 2 weeks. Ten tubes of each fungus were socked with herbal lotion for 10 second and pour it out. The control tubes were socked with sterile distilled water. Two subcultures of each treated fungus were done after leaving it dry for 90 min and after leaving in incubation at 30°C for 6 weeks. The subcultures of
each fungi from the control tubes could normally grew. While there were no fungal growth of all lotion treated subcultures. This study indicated that the KU Natural Miticide® might be fungicide for all three main dermatophytes of dogs and cats, Microsporum canis, M. gypseum and T. mentagrophyte.
