January 2023 in “Frontiers in Veterinary Science” Buffalo fly infestation in north Australian cattle herds causes alopecic, hyperkeratotic, or scab-encrusted lesions, sometimes with hemorrhagic ulceration. This study examined the role of the filarial nematode Stephanofilaria and other factors in lesion development. Stephanofilaria was found in 31% of lesions, which were more severe than those without the nematode. Bacterial infections were noted in 19 lesions, leading to higher ulceration and epidermal disruption. No infections were found in 49% of lesions, suggesting hypersensitivity to buffalo fly feeding as a possible cause. The study concludes that while Stephanofilaria exacerbates lesion severity, it is not essential for lesion development, and bacteria and hypersensitivity also play roles.

January 2022 in “Annals of Dermatology” Ichthyosis follicularis, atrichia, and photophobia (IFAP) syndrome is a rare X-linked recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in the MBTPS2 gene, primarily affecting males. A 7-year-old boy with scanty hair and severe photophobia was diagnosed with IFAP syndrome, presenting with scaly patches and follicular hyperkeratotic papules. Genetic analysis identified a novel homozygous missense mutation (c.245T>C, p.Phe82Ser) in the MBTPS2 gene, not previously reported in major mutation databases. This mutation may predict a mild form of IFAP syndrome, limited to the classic triad of symptoms.
