Microscopic hair characteristics

The microscopic hair analysis of Large Indian Civet (Viverra zibetha) and Small Indian Civet (Viverricula indica) was done using the optical light microscope for its species identification, the hair of two species showed different cuticular and cross-section characteristics. The unique cuticular pattern ‘broad diamond petal’ and the shape of the cross-section ‘oval or oblong’ of dorsal guard hair of two species determine the species identity between the two species.

The microscopic characteristics of dorsal guard hairs of Hyaena hyaena were examined using optical light microscope to know its hair morphology. The hair of H. hyaena is diagnosed by its unique medullary characteristics i.e. the composition of medulla- ‘unicellular regular’, structure of medulla- ‘simple or narrow medulla lattice’ and the ‘oblong’ shape cross-section. The photo-micrographs and characteristics of dorsal guard hairs are presented here may be used for the species identification.

The present article reports on the laboratory examination of skin scraping sample collected from a camel clinically infected with dermatophyte infection. The samples were examined by direct microscopical examination by placing the skin scrapings and/or hairs in 20% KOH on a glass slide and gentle heating, without boiling. The dermatophyte identification was made based on the colony characteristics and microscopic features of the fungal isolates according to the methods. The present study revealed the presence of superficial dermatophyte skin infection in the affected camel.

In the present study 86 number of skin scrapings were collected from various breeds like Labrador retriever (n=32), German shepherd (n=21), Spitz (n=9), Dacshund (n=16), Mastiff (n=5), Boxer (n=3) and age groups from 6 months to, above 3 year with characteristics ring like lesions, alopecia, irregular patches of hair loss. All the dogs were presented to teaching veterinary clinical complex, Odisha veterinary college from December 2018 to June 2019.On routine identification of fungus out of 86 number of skin scrappings it was revealed that arthospores were present in 54 number of samples.

Superficial mycoses are the most frequent forms of human infections, Dermatophytes affecting more than 20 to 25% of the world’s population. They are predominantly caused by the keratinophilic fungi in the genera of Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton. 1. Isolation and identification of Dermatophytes causing skin, hair and nail infections. 2. To know the prevalence of Dermatophytic infections in Tertiary care hospital. This study was conducted from April 2018 to July 2018 in Department of Microbiology, J. J. M. Medical College, Davanagere.
