title: Effect of thiabendazole and tincture of iodine on cattle ringworm caused by Trichophyton verrucosum.
abstract: Clinical trials were carried out on 3 groups of 30 Friesian cattle naturally infected with Trichophyton verrucosum. One group was treated with 3.75% thiabendazole in glycerine, another with 5% tincture of iodine and the last served as the control group without any treatment. Both the preparations were applied locally on the ringworm lesions at 3 day intervals with a total of 4 applications. The percentage of animals cured was 86.7 by thiabendazole and 46.7 by tincture of iodine. No recrudescence was observed during the subsequent 4 months period.
