Description

Of 35 dairy cattle, 31 became ill about 20 days after their arrival from the Hokkaido district.<BR>The first symptom to appear was a raised, ring-like patch on which hair stood erect.<BR>In a day or so the hair fell off, and the surface of the skin was covered with masses of scales, which heaped up into a greyish-white or greyish-yellow crust.<BR>Lesions were very numrous and often became confluent. So that large ones became bare of hair and presented a rough, crusty, hard, dry surface. They showed a tendency to form pronounced wrinkles on the skin. Lesions occurred anywhere on the body surface.<BR>Trycophyton sp. was isolated in culture from scales and the root of hair in many cases.
