Genotypic and Phenotypic Characterization of Treponema phagedenis from Bovine Digital Dermatitis [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 This study aimed to isolate and characterize Treponema spp. from bovine digital dermatitis (BDD)-infected dairy cattle. Seven isolates were characterized in this study. Isolates exhibited slow growth, and colonies penetrated the agar and exhibited weak β-

Altered microbiomes in bovine digital dermatitis lesions, and the gut as a pathogen reservoir. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Bovine digital dermatitis (DD) is the most important infectious disease associated with lameness in cattle worldwide. Since the disease was first described in 1974, a series of Treponema species concurrent with other microbes have been identified in DD ...

Meta-Analysis of Bovine Digital Dermatitis Microbiota Reveals Distinct Microbial Community Structures Associated With Lesions [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Bovine digital dermatitis (DD) is a significant cause of infectious lameness and economic losses in cattle production across the world. There is a lack of a consensus across different 16S metagenomic studies on DD-associated bacteria that may be ...

The therapeutic efficacy of allyl isothiocyanate in cows with bovine digital dermatitis. [PDF]
J Vet Med Sci, 2017 Bovine digital dermatitis (BDD) is the most prevalent infectious cause of lameness in cattle. Because Treponema infection is a major etiology of BDD, the most common treatment of BDD is an antibiotic. Nonetheless, dairy cows require a withdrawal period after antibiotic treatment before their milk can be marketed.

Removal of bovine digital dermatitis-associated treponemes from hoof knives after foot-trimming: a disinfection field study [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2020 Background Bovine digital dermatitis (BDD) is an infectious foot disease found commonly in dairy herds. Foot-trimming is an important husbandry procedure for reducing the ensuing lameness; however, epidemiological, and microbiological studies have ...
