Which of the following is NOT a synonym for Dermatophilus congolensis?

Dermatophilus congolensis is a bacterium that primarily causes skin infections in animals, particularly in cattle and sheep. The conditions it is associated with include lumpy wool, strawberry footrot, and cutaneous streptothricosis.

Lumpy wool refers to a chronic skin disease affecting sheep caused by this bacterium, leading to wool that becomes matted and lumps forming under the skin. Strawberry footrot is another condition caused by Dermatophilus congolensis, characterized by severe inflammation and infection of the skin on the limbs, typically seen in sheep. Cutaneous streptothricosis is a term related to lesions caused by a similar bacterium and is often used interchangeably in veterinary contexts with conditions stemming from Dermatophilus congolensis.

In contrast, canine distemper is a viral disease that affects dogs and is unrelated to any skin infections or conditions caused by Dermatophilus congolensis. Therefore, it does not share synonyms with this bacterium, distinguishing it as the correct choice.
