If you're trying to remember a specific animal infection, could you provide more details? Perhaps you remember:
* The animal species affected: Was it a dog, cat, horse, or something else?
* Any symptoms: Were there skin lesions, fever, coughing, etc.?
* Where you heard the term: Did you see it in a book, online, or hear it from someone?
With more information, I might be able to help you identify the infection you're thinking of.
