Lobomycosis as a Disease of the Atlantic Bottle-Nosed Dolphin (Tursiops Truncatus Montagu, 1821)*

Skin lesions on an Atlantic bottlenosed dolphin, captured off the coast of Florida, were investigated and found to be histologically and microbiologically indistinguishable from those caused in humans by Loboa loboi. All attempts to isolate the etiologic agent or to transmit the infection to mice and monkeys ended in failure. Sight records of other suspected dolphin cases of lobomycosis in Florida waters are described along with citations of two previously confirmed and published dolphin infections.

Accepted for publication May 11, 1974.
