The disease was found to be associated with young calves up to 6 months old, labourer, animal attendant and housewife, people in the age between 30-50 years and with the monsoon season. Tinea corporis (48.6%) was most common, followed by Tinea pedis (21.1%), Tenea cruris (18.3%), Tinea unguium (4.5%), Tinea barbae (4.1%) and Tinea capitis (4.1%). In humans, Trichophyton verrucosum (384%) was the most common isolate, followed by T. violaceum (30.1%), Piedraia hortae (23.3%) and T. mentagrophytes (granular) (8.2%). In cattle and goat, isolation frequency of T. verrucosum was higher than T. mentagrophytes.
