Rapid serogroup classification of the footrot pathogen Dichelobacter nodosus using multiplex qPCR of lesion samples from sheep in the Netherlands

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Dichelobacter nodosus (D. nodosus) is the pathogen responsible for causing footrot in sheep and goats, which poses significant challenges to animal health and welfare. D. nodosus is classified into 10 different serogroups (A–I and M) based on the genetic

Bacterial species associated with interdigital phlegmon outbreaks in Finnish dairy herds

BMC Veterinary Research, 2019
Background Severe outbreaks of bovine interdigital phlegmon (IP) have occurred recently in several free stall dairy herds in Finland. We studied the aetiology of IP in such herds, and the association of bacterial species with the various stages of IP and

Genomic heterogeneity of Dichelobacter nodosus within and between UK sheep flocks and between age groups within a flock

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Footrot and interdigital dermatitis are endemic infectious diseases in all sheep farming regions, impairing welfare and production. The development of efficacious vaccines against the primary causative pathogen has been hampered by the ...

Evaluation of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for detection of aprV2 positive Dichelobacter nodosus in-field by secondary users

BMC Research Notes, 2019
Objective Dichelobacter nodosus is the primary aetiological agent of footrot in sheep. Ovine footrot causes considerable economic losses and substantial animal welfare issues in the Australian sheep industry. Current methods for detecting D.

Molecular Diagnosis of Footrot and Contagious Ovine Digital Dermatitis in Small Ruminants in the Iberian Peninsula

Animals
Contagious ovine digital dermatitis (CODD) and footrot (FR), a sub-acute or acute necrotic (decaying) infectious disease involving the hoof and underlying tissues, pose economic challenges to herds in Spain and worldwide. The aetiological agent for FR is

In vitro and ex vivo testing of alternative disinfectants to currently used more harmful substances in footbaths against Dichelobacter nodosus.

PLoS ONE, 2020
A footbath-based control program for ovine footrot, a contagious disease caused by Dichelobacter nodosus, will be implemented in Switzerland. The currently used footbath disinfectants formaldehyde, zinc sulfate and copper sulfate are carcinogenic or ...

An evaluation of the ability of Dichelobacter nodosus to survive in soil

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2013
Background Dichelobacter nodosus is the causative agent of footrot in sheep. The survival of the bacterium in soil is of importance for the epidemiology of the disease. The investigation evaluates the survival of D. nodosus in soil with and without added

Optimization of a Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Assay for In-Field Detection of Dichelobacter nodosus With aprV2 (VDN LAMP) in Victorian Sheep Flocks

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Dichelobacter nodosus is the primary etiological agent of footrot in sheep and has a variety of virulence factors. Of these, AprV2, an extracellular protease, has been shown to be capable of causing severe or “virulent” disease symptoms under the right ...
