Abstract:
Dermatophilus congolensis was isolated from cutaneous hyperkeratotic nodules of two marble lizards. The organism was similar to strains of D congolensis previously characterized as mammalian pathogens. The isolate was experimentally transmitted to other marble lizards and to Spb:(SW)BR mice by subcutaneous inoculation and by topical application after skin scarification.
