  • Title: Cutaneous and nasal protothecosis in a goat.
    Author: Macedo JT, Riet-Correa F, Dantas AF, Simões SV.
    Journal: Vet Pathol; 2008 May; 45(3):352-4. PubMed ID: 18487492.
    Abstract:
    A case of protothecosis is reported in an adult goat with inspiratory dyspnea and stertor. Dermatitis with prominent ulcerated nodules up to 3 cm in diameter was observed in the muzzle at the mucocutaneous junctions of nasal and lip skin, and in the border of the pinna. Histologic lesions were necrotizing pyogranulomatous dermatitis and rhinitis with myriads of walled sporangia, characteristic of Prototheca wickerhamii. This seems to be the first report of protothecosis in a goat.
