Extract

The nematode genus Stephanofilaria was created to accommodate the species S. dedoesi Ihle and Ihle-Landenberg, 1933, which was found in association with a disease in cattle named “Cascado” in the Dutch East Indies. Two further species have since been described, namely, S. stilesi Chitwood, 1934, from skin lesions in cattle in the United States and S. assamensis Pande, 1936, from “Hump Sore” in cattle in Assam. The disease and its relation to the nematode has been studied in each case by Bubberman and Kranefeld (1933) in the Dutch East Indies, by Dikmans (1934) in the United States and by Pande (1935) in Assam, and the results of their studies leave little doubt as to the authenticity of Stephanofilariasis as an important skin disease in cattle.
