Greetings Chris,
                                  Seeing as your going down the "Sure
sounds like ringworm to me " road let's clear one thing up !
Ringworm is not a virus !  It is a fungus ! The two species that
mainly affect dogs, cats and therefore humans are ...
Microsporum gypseum and Microsporum canis, both fungus, there is
another species but it doesn't cause what is termed "common ringworm".

People in a kennel situation could do a lot worse than not heeding
your advice re: Chlorine and Iodine.  Amongst other properties, they
are both good anti-fungal agents.

Regards
Anthony
