Unique ID: D058066
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D058066
Annotation: animal only; coordinate IM with appropriate infection term (IM) + precoordinated animal/disease term (IM) if pertinent
Scope Note: Highly contagious infectious dermatitis with lesions near the interdigital spaces usually in cattle. It causes discomfort and often severe lameness (LAMENESS, ANIMAL). Lesions can be either erosive or proliferative and wart-like with papillary growths and hypertrophied hairs. DICHELOBACTER NODOSUS and TREPONEMA are the most commonly associated causative agents for this mixed bacterial infection disease.
