Bovine digital dermatitis: Current concepts from laboratory to farm [PDF]
Bovine digital dermatitis (DD) is a severe infectious disease causing lameness in dairy cattle worldwide and is an important ruminant welfare problem that has considerable economic issues. Bovine DD is endemic in many regions worldwide and it is important to understand this major disease so that effective control strategies can be identified.

Host and environmental reservoirs of infection for bovine digital dermatitis treponemes [PDF]
Bovine digital dermatitis (BDD) is a global infectious disease causing lameness of cattle and is responsible for substantial animal welfare issues and economic losses. The causative agents are considered to be spirochetal bacteria belonging to the genus Treponema, which have consistently been identified in BDD lesions worldwide.

Prevalence of bovine papillomavirus and Treponema DNA in bovine digital dermatitis lesions
Veterinary Microbiology, 2011Bovine digital dermatitis (BDD) is a common infectious foot disease whose aetiology is not fully understood. Its origin is thought to be multifactorial, with treponemes being involved. Using PCR-based techniques, BDD samples from 45 affected cows and intact skin from 8 BDD-affected and 33 healthy cows were assessed for the presence of bovine ...

In vitro susceptibility of bovine digital dermatitis associated spirochaetes to antimicrobial agents
Bovine digital dermatitis (BDD) is an infectious lameness in cattle, which has a large global impact in terms of animal welfare and cost. The majority of evidence suggests that spirochaetes are the aetiological agent of this disease. The aim of this study was to identify the susceptibility of BDD associated spirochaetes to a range of antimicrobial ...

Investigating host genetic factors in bovine digital dermatitis
Veterinary Record, 2012Bovine digital dermatitis (BDD), identified in the UK in 1988 (Blowey and Sharp 1988), is an infectious bacterial lameness of the bovine hind foot. BDD susceptibility and outcome is well known to be influenced by environmental factors, such as farm hygiene and housing conditions (Somers and others 2003, Onyiro and others 2008, Barker and others 2009 ...

Use of an antibiotic footbath in the treatment of bovine digital dermatitis
Veterinary Record, 2000One hundred and eleven dairy cows with digital dermatitis, on six commercial farms, were used to test the efficacy of a footbath containing erythromycin for treating the condition. Four days after 55 of the cows had walked through the footbath after two successive milkings their lesions were significantly less active and painful than those of the 56 ...
