ACTINOBACILLOSES OF RUMINANTS. (lignieresii)
Bovine actinomycosis is caused by Actinomyces lignieresi
F
A. Bovis
Abrasions on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity can predispose to actinomycosis
T
In the case of actinomycosis sulphur granules can be found in the lesions.
T
sulphur granules (Gr + filaments)
o Yellowish, pinhead-sized (A. Bovis)
o Whitish, soft, grey (A. Viscosus)
