PATHOGENS
- Papular eruptions: Sarcoptes scabiei, Onchocerca volvulus, non-human schistosomes (e.g., avian), Edwardsiella lineata larva (sea anemone), Linuche unguinculata (jellyfish), bedbugs, flea bites.
- Nodules/subcutaneous swellings: myiasis due to Cordylobia anthropophaga larvae, Dermatobia hominis larvae or Tunga penetrans; Loa loa; Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and T.b. rhodesiense (more common to see nodule in this form).
- Ulcers: Staphylococcus aureus, Group A streptococci; Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis complex; Mycobacterium marinum; Boutonnese fever (Rickettsia conorii group); Orientalis tsutsugamushi; Haemophilus ducreyi; Chlamydia trachomatis L serovars; Klebsiella granulomatis; Treponema pallidum; Herpes simplex virus.
- Geographic migratory and linear lesions: examples
- Non-human nematode larvae: Ancylostoma braziliense, A. caninum, Gnathostoma spp, zoonotic Strongyloides, Spururina spp.
- Human nematode larvae: Strongyloides stercoralis.
- Migratory maggots.
- Adult nematodes: Loa loa; Dracunculus medinensis.
- Trematode larvae: Fasciola giganta.
- Mites: Sarcoptes scabei.
- Exanthema: dengue virus serotypes 1, 2, 3 and 4; chikungunya virus; Rickettsia africae; R. conorii; other location-specific arthropod-borne rickettsioses.
- Animal bites: Capnocytophaga spp, Corynebacterium spp, Neisseria spp, Pasturella spp; Staphylococcus aureus, streptococci, anaerobes, rabies virus, herpes B virus
