Identification of an alkaline ceramidase gene from Dermatophilus congolensis

Veterinary Microbiology, 2004
A random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) procedure was used to identify a specific 0.6 kb DNA fragment unique to Dermatophilus congolensis. This 0.6 kb fragment was evaluated as a specific DNA probe and used to design oligonucleotide primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification.

Dermatophilus congolensis infection (dermatophilosis) in animals and man! An update

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 1993
Dermatophilus congolensis infection (dermatophilosis) is an acute, subacute or chronic skin disease affecting a wide range of species of animals and man. It is world widely distributed but more prevalent in the humid, tropics and subtropics. The disease is now being reviewed in detail.

Antigenicity of Dermatophilus Congolensis Hemolysin

Journal of Veterinary Medicine, Series B, 1993
SummaryThe separated cell‐free form of hemolytic exosubstance was obtained from five strains of Dermatophilus congolensis. Three strains produced exosubstance with high activity, two strains produced exosubstance with lower intensity of activity. The separated forms exhibited the same hemolytic interactions as the native forms produced by growing ...

Serodiagnosis of Dermatophilus congolensis infection by counterimmunoelectrophoresis

Research in Veterinary Science, 1982
Sixty-one sera from animals that had contact with Dermatophilus congolensis were examined by comparing three serological methods; counterimmunoelectrophoresis, passive haemagglutination, and agar gel diffusion, and by using four different antigenic extracts of D congolensis.

Dermatophilus congolensis and “Hairy” Leukoplakia

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1988
The authors report the first human case (to our knowledge) of infection of the oral mucosa by Dermatophilus congolensis. Septate branching filaments morphologically identical to those of D. congolensis were identified in the lingual epithelium of a male homosexual employed as an animal handler.

HUMAN INFECTION WITH DERMATOPHILUS CONGOLENSIS *

Medical Journal of Australia, 1962
Dermatophilosis is a skin disease in animals and humans caused by the actinomycete Dermatophilus congolensis. This microorganism causes the skin disease in sheep commonly referred to in Australia as "lumpy wool" or mycotic dermatitis. One proven case of human dermatophilosis and two cases with features which are clinically highly suggestive of the ...

Dermatophilus congolensis Infection in Goats in Tanzania

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2001
When goats in Eastern Tanzania were screened for skin diseases, Dermatophilus congolensis was isolated from the skin lesions in 8 of 484 animals examined. In one severely affected case, the disease was also characterized by histological studies (Gram stain, Giemsa stain and routine HE studies) and electron microscopy.

Hemolytic Interactions of Dermatophilus congolensis

Journal of Veterinary Medicine, Series B, 1992
SummaryThe strains of Dermatophilus congolensis grew on blood agar with washed sheep erythrocytes with marked total hemolysis. In testing for hemolytic interactions they gave a significant synergistic effect of a characteristic shape with Rhodococcus equi and Streptococcus agalactiae, whereas with Staphylococcus aureus producing beta hemolysin and with

Pitted Keratolysis and Dermatophilus congolensis

Archives of Dermatology, 1972
Pitted keratolysis is a multifocal superficial erosion of the stratum corneum, usually limited to the soles of the feet. A causative agent has been described previously, but its identity is unclear. While studying a lesion of pitted keratolysis, we found an actinomycete with the morphologic appearance of Dermatophilus congolensis , the cause of ...

An in vivo method of assay for Dermatophilus congolensis

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1983
An in vivo method of assay for Dermatophitus congolensis in rats is described. The optimal conditions for preparing skin before infection and subsequently harvesting the zoospores from infected skin were investigated. These experiments showed that clipping the skin had no effect on infection with this bacterium and that when the infected skin was ...
