MARIN, R.E.; SAEZ, J. y SAEZ, V.. Brote de dermatofilosis en bovinos del altiplano de Jujuy, Argentina. Rev. vet. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.2, pp.139-141. ISSN 1669-6840. http://dx.doi.org/10.30972/vet.2923282.
An outbreak of dermatophylosis (Dermatophilus congolensis) in cattle from the Puna region at Jujuy province, is described. The disease was present in a native creole bovine herd during the rainy season (summer). The affected animals presented symmetrical and non-pruritic proliferative exudative dermatitis with crust formation, affecting the interdigital space of the four limbs, and severe and locally extensive form in the hind limbs and in the interior of the nostrils. The diagnosis was performed based on the clinical presentation and the identification of the causative agent in smears obtained from crust material as well as the epidemiological characteristics, considering that both climatic factors and management conditions favored the presentation of the disease.
