AB  - This research aimed to isolate and identify some dermatophytes 
  which causing ringworm disease in calves in Thamar government, Yemen Republic 
  and evaluate antifungal susceptibility of isolates against some common chemical 
  compounds (CuSO<SUB>4</SUB>+CaO, Formaldehyde and Hydrogen Peroxide and Amphotericin 
  B was used as standard antifungal agent). A total of 139 samples were collected 
  from head, chest and limbs of calves which infected by ringworm disease. Dermatophytes 
  Test Medium (DTM) was used to differ between dermatophyte and non dermatophyte 
  fungi. Only 11 isolates were considered dermatophytes. Macro and microcharacteristics 
  were studied to identify the dermatophyte isolates. All isolates were identified 
  as Trichophytonverrucosum. The identification of the isolates were confirmed 
  by Assiut University Mycological Center (AUMC), Egypt and were given AUMC NO. 
  2407. <I>In vitro</I> antifungal susceptibility test was performed according 
  to Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards for filamentous fungi (NCCLS 
  M38-A) guidelines. The study concluded that <I>T. verrucosum</I> could be major 
  causative agent of ringworm disease in calves in Thamar, Yemen. Of all the farms, 
  the farms of government sector had the highest ringworm disease prevalence rate. 
  <I>In vitro</I> activity of Formaldehyde solution (10%) against <I>T. verrucosum</I> 
  isolated from calves was more than mixture of cupric sulphate with calcium oxide 
  and hydrogen peroxide. It could be used as antifungal drugs to treat ringworm 
  disease in calves in Yemen.
