Hereditary lymphedema in Hereford cattle

AL Schild, F Riet-Correa, and MC Mendez

Regional Diagnostic Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Pelotas University, Brazil.

Congenital lymphedema is described in Hereford cattle. The disease was characterized by edema of the hind limbs, sometimes forelimbs, tail, and prepuce. Lymphatic system lesions were hypoplasia and aplasia of lymph vessels and prescapular, iliofemoral, and popliteal lymph nodes. Test matings demonstrated the transmission of the disease by an autosomal dominant trait with variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance.
