(A) Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), demonstrating typical appearance of filament projecting from skin surface, patient 2. Scale bar is shown at bottom of SEM. (B) SEM demonstrating the typical helical-shape outline of a spirochete under the skin surface, one-third down from top of right side (arrow). Scale bar is shown at bottom of SEM. (C) SEM of same specimen also demonstrating bacterial forms consistent with morphological variations of Borrelia spp. Scale bar is shown at bottom of SEM. (D) SEM of bovine digital dermatitis filaments, demonstrating filamentous and scaling surfaces. Scale bar is shown at bottom of SEM.
