Mortellaro hastalığı (digital dermatitis): Genel perspektif

Digital dermatitis ilk defa 1974 yılında Chali ve Mortellaro tarafından italya'da %60'lara varan oranlarda süt sığırlarında topallık nedeni olarak rapor edildi. Etiyolojisftam olarak bilinmemekle birlikte, etken olarak Tre-ponema-benzeri spirochete'lerin hastalığı yaptığı belirtilmektedir. Lezyonlar tırnağın plantar kjsmında ve tam inter-digital aralığın birleşme yerinin yukarısında rudımenter tırnakların altında görülür. Yangı derinin epidermis super-ficialis katında şekillenir. Tedavide topikal oksitetrasiklin spreyler önerilir. Türkiye'de de bu hastalığa rastlanılmaktadır (Güzel ve Demirkan, yayınlanmamış rapor.

Mortellaro disease (Digital dermatitis): General perspective

Digital dermatitis was first reported by Chali and Mortellaro in Italy in 1974 causing lameness in dairy cattle up to 60 %. Although, so far, precise aetiology is stilt unknown, Treponema-like spirochete has been incriminated as a pathogen. Typical lesions are seen at the plantar aspects of the feet, just above the interdigital cleft, under the dew claws. There is a superficial inflammation in the epidermis. In treatment, local application of oxytetracyclines are recommended. This disease is also seen in Turkey (Güzel, Demirkan; unpublished data).
