摘要

Dermatophilosis caused by Dermatophilus congolensis, a gram positive pleomorphic bacterium is characterised by an acute or chronic, local or progressive and sometimes fatal exudative dermatitis. The disease has a wide host range which include cattle, sheep, goat, homes, pigs and a variety of wild species such as antelope, deer, giraffe, zebra, snakes, and lizards. It causes severe weight loss, decrease in milk yield during lactation (in dairy animals), death, and histologically it causes breakagesin continuity of basal laminae and destruction of the collagen fibrillar with spatial disorientation in the grain and consequently resulting in poor leather quality. Dermatophilosis is worldwide in distribution though earlier reports were from the tropical and sub-tropical countries. Prevalence rates reported in previous studies were 11.98 percent in herds in northern Nigeria and 1.28 percent in abattoir samples in Ibadan. It has been reported to be the most important skin disease of cattle in northernand western Nigeria and is considered by the FAO as one of the four major bacterial diseases of cattle in the tropics. The disease has been observed to be more prevalent among Fulani herds during the wet than dry seasons of the year.
