Infection with Pythium flevoense in a harbour porpoise ( Phocoena phocoena ) as a novel cause of dermatitis in marine mammals
The oomycete Pythium flevoense was diagnosed as the cause of dermatitis in a young adult female harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) that had been trapped in a pound net in a temperate saltwater environment. Disease from Pythium sp. infection-pythiosis-is infrequently diagnosed in humans, horses, do...
