- The study focused on evaluating various disinfection methods to control avian dermatophytosis caused by dermatophyte species, particularly looking at their effects on fungal spores and mycelia.
- The research employed methods like broth microdilution and time-kill assays to determine the effectiveness of different germicides, UV irradiation, and heat treatment against the fungus.
- Results showed that high temperatures (50°C for 25 min or 60°C/80°C for 5 min) and specific UV doses significantly reduced fungal cell viability, while most detergents had minimal effects and all tested germicides were effective in eliminating the fungus.
