MT3- DERMATOPHILUS CONGOLENSIS Flashcards
Dermatophilus congolensis is the agent of dermatophilosis
T
Dermatophilus congolensis causes ulcerative dermatitis in sheep
F
- lumpy wool
- strawberry foot rot
Dermatophilus congolensis can cause metritis in horses
F
Skin lesions have important role in the pathogenesis of dermatophilosis
T
- only skin is affected
Dermatophilus congolensis is mainly a human pathogen
F
The agents of dermatophilosis cannot survive in the environment, they are mainly
transmitted by arthropods.
F
Examination of skin scraping under the microscope is important diagnostic method for the diagnosis of dermatophilosis
T
- clinical signs
- skin scraping
- bacteriology
Dermatophilus hyicus causes exudative dermatitis in piglets:
F
Heavy rain and wet skin surfaces are important predisposing factors in case of dermatophilosis
T
Treatment is not allowed in the case of dermatophilosis, eradication of the disease is our primary aim.
F
Treatment of dermatophilosis is based on antifungal agents
F
The most susceptible animal species which shows clinical signs of dermatophilosis is the dog.
F
Dermatophilosis is more frequent in the tropical areas than in moderate climate
T
Dermatophilosis is caused by Dermatophilus bovis
F
Dermatophilus congolensis
The agent of dermatophilosis is resistant, it remains viable for several months in the
environment.
T
Serous dermatitis can be seen in the case of dermatophilosis
F
These lesions are typically filled with pus rather than serous fluid.
Dermatophilosis occurs only in tropical and subtropical regions
F
- worldwide: Tropical, subtropical regions: most prevalent
Dermatophilosis congolensis is the causative agent of dermatophilosis
T
The agent of dermatophilosis is not resistant, it cannot survive in environment
F
Focal necrosis in the parenchymal organs is a typical lesion of dermatophilosis.
F
Dermatophilosis is more common in the tropical environment than in moderate climates.
T
Dermatophilus bovis causes dermatophilosis.
F
Dermatophilus congolensis
Serous dermatitis is the main clinical sign of dermatophilosis
F
At dermatophilosis in the parenchymal organs inflammatory-necrotic nodules can be observed
F
The agent of Dermatophilosis can survive in the environment.
T
Dermatophilosis can be diagnosed by staining a direct smear from the lesions
T
- Clinical findings
- Skin scrapings - smear
- Bacteriology
Dermatophilosis can be diagnosed by microscopic examination.
T
- Clinical findings
- Skin scrapings - smear
- Bacteriology
Dermatophilosis can be generalized.
F
Dermatophilosis can affects also birds and plants.
F
Dermatophilosis occurs only in Africa.
F
- worldwide
Focal inflammation in the liver is a typical lesion of dermatophilosis
F
Dermatophilosis is predisposed by wet skin.
