Bumblefoot in a guinea pig. Bumblefoot (ulcerative pododermatitis) is a common bacterial infection and inflammatory reaction that occurs on the feet of birds, rodents, and rabbits. [1] It is caused by bacteria, namely species of Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, and Escherichia, with S. aureus being the most common cause of the infection. [1]
Dracunculiasis, also called Guinea-worm disease, is a parasitic infection by the Guinea worm, Dracunculus medinensis.A person becomes infected by drinking water contaminated with Guinea-worm larvae that reside inside copepods (a type of small crustacean).
It is a type of dermatophyte that causes infection in dead keratinized tissues such as skin, hair, and nails. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Microsporum nanum is found worldwide and is both zoophilic and geophilic . Animals such as pigs and sheep are the natural hosts for the fungus; however, infection of humans is also possible.
Members of the genus Chrysosporium have weak pathogenic potential, with human and animal infection reported for only a few taxa. [2] Experimental studies have shown inoculation of this fungus on guinea pig skin to produce erythematous scaling lesions which disappear after 3–5 weeks; however, no apparent invasion of the hair shaft occurs. [2]
Trichophyton mentagrophytes is one of three common fungi which cause ringworm in companion animals and frequently isolated from dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and other rodents. [2] [3] [4] It is the most common or one of the most common fungi that cause zoonotic skin disease (i.e., transmission of mycotic skin disease from species to species ...
The American man’s infection responded to standard anti-fungal medications but ultimately took four and a half months to heal fully. He was put on fluconazole for four weeks without improvement ...

Microsporum gypseum is a soil-associated dermatophyte that occasionally is known to colonise and infect the upper dead layers of the skin of mammals. [1] The name refers to an asexual "form-taxon" that has been associated with four related biological species of fungi: the pathogenic taxa Arthroderma incurvatum, A. gypsea, A. fulva and the non-pathogenic saprotroph A. corniculata.
