  • Title: Dermatophilosis of Alpine Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) in Italy.
    Author: De Meneghi D, Ferroglio E, Bollo E, Vizcaino LL, Moresco A, Rossi L.
    Journal: Schweiz Arch Tierheilkd; 2002 Mar; 144(3):131-6. PubMed ID: 11980380.
    Abstract:
    A proliferative dermatitis similar to the condition generally referred to as strawberry footrot was observed in two Alpine chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) from Eastern Alps, Italy. Branching septated filaments and packets of PAS-positive coccoid organisms were observed in histological sections of the affected skin. The actinomycete, Dermatophilus congolensis, was isolated from crusted lesions in one chamois. As wild ruminants are presumed to be a reservoir of infection in the Alpine area, the authors discuss the potential role of chamois in the epidemiology of dermatophilosis.
