An adult local breed bull with a history of reduced appetite, pruritus, dirty scabs and crusts as initial lesion coalesce on its different body parts was presented to Debre Markos multipurpose veterinary clinic. The rectal temperature and other vital parameters were within the normal range. The clinical signs observed were exudative dermatitis forming crusts and scabs, pruritus, matted hair like a paintbrush and keratinized material creating wart\u2010like lesions that were widely distributed in different body parts. Few ticks were observed on the skin of the bull suspected as vector of the disease. Culture of skin scraps on blood agar showed small, grayish\u2010white raised granular and hemolytic colonies. Staining of skin scraps by Giemsa and Gram's stain and cultured colony by Gram's stain indicated the characteristics of\n                    <jats:italic>Dermatophilus congolensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , etiology of dermatophilosis.

The case was treated by penstrep and ivermectin parentally and iodine tincture topically, and the bull showed progressive clinical improvement and complete recovery within 2 months. In conclusion, dermatophilosis is an economically important skin disease, highly prevalent in Ethiopia, and needs early detection and treatment by penstrep intramuscularly and ivermectine subcutaneously with iodine tincture topically in line with proper husbandry practices to control the losses.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/vms3.70245","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,6]],"date-time":"2025-02-06T09:23:36Z","timestamp":1738833816000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Clinical and Laboratory Diagnosis of Dermatophilosis (Cutaneous Streptothricosis) in Cattle in Ethiopia: Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7683-2941","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dessalew","family":"Habte","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Laboratory Technology Debre Markos University  Debre Markos Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Habtamu","family":"Addis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Laboratory Technology Injibara University  Injibara Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kifle","family":"Wondimagegnehu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Laboratory Technology Debre Markos University  Debre Markos Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18782\/2394-3726.1082"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","first-page":"172","article-title":"Occurrence of Bovine Dermatophilosis in Ambo Town, West Shoa Administrative Zone, Ethiopia","volume":"7","author":"Bayisa D.","year":"2012","journal-title":"American\u2010Eurasian Journal of Scientific Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","volume-title":"Veterinary Medicine: A Textbook of the Diseases of Cattle, Horses, Sheep, Pigs, and Goats","author":"Constable P.","year":"2017"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4172\/2157-7579.1000222"},{"issue":"10","key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Successful Therapy in Unusual Generalized Dermatophilus Congolensis Infection in a Calf Based on Modified in Vitro Disk Diffusion Test","volume":"84","author":"Domingues P.","year":"2018","journal-title":"Arquivos Do Instituto Biol\u00f3gico"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.20506\/rst.28.3.1954"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","first-page":"136","article-title":"Review of Dermatophilosis and Its Status in Ethiopia","volume":"3","author":"Hussen A.","year":"2020","journal-title":"Journal of Veterinary and Marine Sciences"},{"issue":"8","key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","first-page":"2671","article-title":"Giemsa: The Universal Diagnostic Stain","volume":"33","author":"Jackson S.","year":"2018","journal-title":"Sigma\u2010Aldrich"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.34297\/AJBSR.2019.02.000586"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Dermatophilosis (Streptothricosisi) in Cros Bred Jerssy Cattle\u2014Case Report","volume":"56","author":"Kumar G.","year":"2020","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Animal Health"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.19080\/ARR.2018.02.555576"},{"issue":"13","key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Dermatophilus Congolensis, Dermatophilosis Clinical Quiz No. 1, Bacterial Diseases","volume":"2","author":"Marsella R.","year":"2014","journal-title":"Journal of Infectious Disease"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4102\/ojvr.v83i1.1004"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4314\/nvj.v39i2.7"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_8_16_1","first-page":"253","article-title":"Dermatophilosis in a Buffalo: A Case Report","volume":"37","author":"Ranjith M.","year":"2018","journal-title":"Buffalo Bulletin"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1982.180.04.395"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4314\/evj.v21i1.7"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_8_19_1","first-page":"64","article-title":"Prevalence of Bovine Dermatophilosis in Andhra Pradesh","volume":"5","author":"Siva B.","year":"2015","journal-title":"International Journal of Food Agricultural Veterinary Science"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_20_1","volume-title":"Culture Methods for Enumeration of Microorganisms.
