“…External lesions, such as enlargement of the superficial lymph nodes, including sub-mandibular, parotid, pre-scapular, subiliary, popliteal and supra-mammary lymph nodes, as defined by Baird and Fontaine (2007), Kumar et al (2012) and Williamson (2001) in small ruminants, have not been observed in current studies. However, this study noted the enlargement of the second most affected superficial lymph node called pre-scapular lymph nodes which were in line with the previous reports described by Ali et al (2016) and Anil (2019) in bovine and by Ayers (1977), Fontaine and Baird (2008), Mira et al (2014), Stoops et al (1984), Valli and Parry (1993), Williamson (2001), Yitagesu et al (2020) and Zeru and Kahsay (2014) in shoats, who reported an enlarged superficial lymph node with a diameter of 13 cm. These results may be attributed to the habit of bulls that tend to scratch their shoulders and heads against walls and fences or any hard objects, resulting in a high percentage of superficial pre-scapular lymph node infections because they drain the shoulder region (Fontaine & Baird, 2008;Jubb et al, 2012;Yitagesu et al, 2020;Zeru & Kahsay, 2014).…”
