Actinobacillosis
Definition
A chronic, structural infectious disease primarily affecting animals (especially cattle and swine) and extremely rarely humans, caused by bacteria of the genus Actinobacillus (such as Actinobacillus lignieresii). The disease is clinically characterized by the development of abscesses and hard granulomatous nodules in soft tissues, frequently localized in the tongue (commonly known as 'wooden tongue'), lymph nodes, or respiratory tract, causing major difficulties in mastication and deglutition.
