Abstract
Seventeen cases of Actinomyces pyogenes infections occurred in six species of captive Bovidae and Cervidae from 1978 to 1986. Infected animals included two yellow-backed duikers (Cephalophus sylvicultor), one white-bearded wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus albojubatus), one scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah), eight dorcas gazelles (Gazella dorcas), three Reeve's muntjacs (Muntiacus reevesi), and two reindeer (Rangifer tarandus). Actinomyces pyogenes was isolated ex clusively from external abscesses (mandible, hoof, and other cutaneous sites) in 12 animals and from urine, blood, and abscesses of the kidneys, lungs, and liver in five animals.
