  • Title: Dermatophilosis: a threat to livestock production in Ethiopia.
    Author: Woldemeskel M.
    Journal: Dtsch Tierarztl Wochenschr; 2000 Apr; 107(4):144-6. PubMed ID: 10829564.
    Abstract:
    A retrospective study of dermatophilosis was made in livestock (cattle, sheep, horses and goats) of Ethiopia under different situations. The disease was reported for the first time in sheep (8.5%), goats (3.14%) and horses (2.84%) from Ethiopia. The occurrence of the disease in cattle was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in wet (6%) than in dry (3.6%) season and in cross (26.9%) than local (3.2%) breeds. The highest prevalence (35%) was noted in cross breeds kept under poor management in the rainy season. The threat of dermatophilosis to animal production in Ethiopia is indicated. Environmental and management risk factors associated with the occurrence of the disease in Ethiopia are identified. The identified risk factors in this study may contribute to the knowledge of devising an optimal intervention in the control of the disease.
