Lobo's disease was diagnosed in a free-ranging male bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus examined as part of a live-capture and release program conducted in Matagorda Bay, Texas, USA, during July 1992. Diagnosis was based on typical presentation of a raised skin lesion, with sub-epidermal granuloma and demonstration of typical features of the organism by light microscopy, using hematoxylin and eosin, and methenamine silver stains. This is the first instance of Lobo's disease found in a dolphin on the western coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
1992年7月，在美国得克萨斯州马塔哥达湾进行的一次活体捕捉和放生项目中，对一头自由放养的雄性宽吻海豚（瓶鼻海豚）进行检查时，诊断出其患有洛博病。诊断依据为皮肤病变隆起的典型表现、表皮下肉芽肿以及通过苏木精-伊红染色和亚甲胺银染色的光学显微镜检查发现该生物体的典型特征。这是在墨西哥湾西海岸的海豚中首次发现洛博病。
