Abstract

phenotypic and genotypic identification of dermatophytes isolated from skin lesions of camels.  In this study 70 specimens of hair and skin scrapings were taken from camels with skin lesions from El – Beheira Governorate  ( Junbway / Kom Hamada  / El – Dalngat), El- Giza Governorate (Briqash ) and El – Sharkia Governorate ( Belbeis ) for identification of common dermatophytes of camels using conventional techniques macromorphology , micromorphology and physiological test and compared with molecular method (polemerase chain reaction) using the short oligonucleotide (GACA)4 as a primer for identification of the tested dermatophyte isolates. ( GACA) 4 based PCR identified the tested isolates from camel skin lesions to the species level in full agreement with the culture-based method
