Dermatophilus congolensis infection is described for the first time in a woodchuck (Marmota monax) and a striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis). This actinomycete was also recovered from a raccoon (Procyon lotor) carcass which had been frozen for a year. Encrusted lesions or denuded patches or both were seen during necropsy on the head, thorax, abdomen, and legs of each carcass. D. congolensis was demonstrated in strained smears or paraffin sections or both from the three animals and was recovered from lesions induced in a rabbit's ear by inoculation with infected raccoon tissue. This expands to 59 the number of cases of dermatophilosis found in wildlife and domestic animals in New York State and vicinity.
刚果嗜皮菌感染首次在土拨鼠（Marmota monax）和条纹臭鼬（Mephitis mephitis）中被描述。这种放线菌也从一只已冷冻一年的浣熊（Procyon lotor）尸体中分离出来。在对每具尸体的头部、胸部、腹部和腿部进行尸检时，发现有结痂病变或脱毛斑块或两者皆有。从这三只动物的染色涂片或石蜡切片或两者中都证实了刚果嗜皮菌的存在，并且通过接种感染的浣熊组织在兔耳上诱导出病变，从中分离出了该菌。这使得纽约州及其周边地区野生动物和家畜中发现的嗜皮菌病病例数增加到了59例。
