Title: Lagenidiosis

'''Lagenidiosis''' is a type of infectious disease caused by a species of [[Lagenidium]] that has not yet been properly named.  Lagenidiosis is found in the southeastern United States in lakes and ponds. It causes progressive skin and subcutaneous lesions in the legs, groin, trunk, and near the tail. The lesions are firm nodules or ulcerated regions with draining tracts. Regional lymph nodes are usually swollen. Spread of the disease to distant lymph nodes, large blood vessels, and the lungs may occur.&lt;ref name=&quot;Grooters_2003&quot;&gt;{{cite journal |author=Grooters A |title=Pythiosis, lagenidiosis, and zygomycosis in small animals |journal=Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract |volume=33 |issue=4 |pages=695–720, v |year=2003 |pmid=12910739 |doi=10.1016/S0195-5616(03)00034-2}}&lt;/ref&gt; Invasion and subsequent [[aneurysm]] of a [[great vessels|great vessel]] can cause death.&lt;ref name=&quot;Merck_oo&quot;&gt;{{cite web | title=Oomycosis | work=The Merck Veterinary Manual | year=2006 | url=http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.jsp?cfile=htm/bc/51112.htm | accessdate=2007-02-03 | archive-date=2016-03-03 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303174059/http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.jsp?cfile=htm%2Fbc%2F51112.htm | url-status=dead }}&lt;/ref&gt;
