Episode Synopsis "How to Know if a Cat has Ringworm with Alex Moskaluk"

When a cat comes into a shelter, it's difficult to tell if it has ringworm or not. This is problematic because ringworm, a fungal disease that breaks down proteins of its host, can spread between cats and humans that are in contact with each other. Alex Moskaluk, a post-doc student in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Pathology at Colorado State University, is studying this fungus to create a method to better identify it on felines and better treat this disease.
