Description
Bovine digital dermatitis causing lameness in a dairy herd in Turkey is described. The lesions were similar to those described for Mortellaro disease. Inflammation of the skin was mostly located at the plantar aspect of the foot, just above the interdigital cleft, and resembled strawberry-coloured epidermal erosion, which was prone to bleed when vigorously manipulated. All cases responded well to topical antibacterial application.
