The affected buffalo was about seven years old, was a female of the Murrah breed and belonged to a property located on Maraj\u00f3 Island in the State of Par\u00e1. During the clinical examination, the animal was in a standing position and presented several multifocal nodular and placoid masses throughout the body, mostly on the forelimbs, hindlimbs, abdomen, mammary glands, perineum, vulva and tail. These masses were also observed on the nasal mucosa, head, neck, back and chest. On macroscopic examination, the skin had several multifocal-to-coalescent sessile nodular and placoid lesions. Histopathology of the skin showed a marked reduction in the number of hair follicles. In the superficial dermis, there was significant multifocal-to-coalescent inflammatory infiltration, consisting of macrophages, epithelioid macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells and multinucleated giant cells. In the remaining hair follicles, there were numerous cross and longitudinal sections of small rhabditoid nematodes characterized by a thin cuticle, platymyarian musculature, an intestinal tract, a rhabditiform esophagus and lateral alae (morphologically compatible with Pelodera spp.). The diagnosis of parasitic dermatitis was confirmed by histopathological skin lesions associated with the presence of intralesional rhabditiform larvae morphologically compatible with Pelodera spp.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani14091328","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,29]],"date-time":"2024-04-29T06:13:22Z","timestamp":1714371202000},"page":"1328","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Parasitic Granulomatous Dermatitis Caused by Pelodera spp. in Buffalo on Maraj\u00f3 Island, Par\u00e1"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7837-4246","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camila Cordeiro","family":"Barbosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6142-0417","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos Eduardo da Silva","family":"Ferreira Filho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos Magno Chaves","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tatiane Teles Albernaz","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8667-9434","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marilene de Farias","family":"Brito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Epidemiologia e Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica (DESP), Instituto de Veterin\u00e1ria (IV), Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), Serop\u00e9dica 23890-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stella Maris Pereira","family":"de Melo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Setor de Patologia Veterin\u00e1ria, Faculdade de Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre 91540-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Milena Carolina","family":"Paz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Setor de Patologia Veterin\u00e1ria, Faculdade de Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre 91540-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8980-6294","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saulo Petinatti","family":"Pavarini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Setor de Patologia Veterin\u00e1ria, Faculdade de Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre 91540-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Driemeier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Setor de Patologia Veterin\u00e1ria, Faculdade de Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre 91540-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8915-5735","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Diomedes","family":"Barbosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2023, October 01).
