Prevalence of Dichelobacter nodosus and Fusobacterium necrophorum on dairy farms in Slovakia
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of bacteria Dichelobacter nodosus (D. nodosus) and Fusobacterium necrophorum (F. necrophorum) in non-lame dairy cows on eight Slovak dairy herds.

Potential transmission routes of Dichelobacter nodosus. [PDF]
Footrot caused by Dichelobacter nodosus is a highly contagious bacterial disease affecting the claw of sheep and the main cause of lameness in these animals. It is not only an economic burden but also a serious animal welfare issue.

Genome sequence of JKS-07B isolate from J&K, India associated with virulent footrot of sheep
Introduction: Virulent footrot of sheep caused by Dichelobacter nodosus is associated with tremendous economic losses due to recurrent treatment costs and increased culling rates.

The role of the environment in transmission of Dichelobacter nodosus between ewes and their lambs [PDF]
Dichelobacter nodosus (D. nodosus) is the essential causative agent of footrot in sheep. The current study investigated when D. nodosus was detectable on newborn lambs and possible routes of transmission. Specific qPCR was used to detect and quantify the

Phylogeographic and Ecological Insights Into the Evolutionary History of the Grass- and Sedge-Specializing Deltocephalinae Leafhoppers. [PDF]
Phylogenetic reconstructions and morphological analysis robustly support the monophyletic status of tribes specializing in grass and sedge habitats. Grass‐ and sedge‐specializing groups diverged from nonspecializing groups around 95.85 million years ago (Ma) during the Cretaceous period, preceding the origin of grasses and sedges (76–88 Ma), indicating

Multiple locus VNTR analysis highlights that geographical clustering and distribution of Dichelobacter nodosus, the causal agent of footrot in sheep, correlates with inter-country movements [PDF]
Dichelobacter nodosus is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium and the causal agent of footrot in sheep. Multiple locus variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA) is a portable technique that involves the identification and enumeration of ...

Understanding the molecular epidemiology of the footrot pathogen Dichelobacter nodosus to support control and eradication programs [PDF]
The Gram-negative anaerobe Dichelobacter nodosus is the primary etiologic agent of ovine footrot. Few studies of the genetic diversity and epidemiology of D. nodosus have been done, despite the economic cost and welfare implications of the disease.

The AprV5 subtilase is required for the optimal processing of all three extracellular serine proteases from Dichelobacter nodosus. [PDF]
Dichelobacter nodosus is the principal causative agent of ovine footrot and its extracellular proteases are major virulence factors. Virulent isolates of D. nodosus secrete three subtilisin-like serine proteases: AprV2, AprV5 and BprV.
