Experimental infection of cattle with ovine Dichelobacter nodosus isolates [PDF]
Acta Vet Scand, 2015 BACKGROUND: Dichelobacter nodosus is the main causative agent of ovine footrot, and there are strong indications that the bacterium can be transferred to cattle grazing on the same pasture as sheep.

Rapid serogroup classification of the footrot pathogen Dichelobacter nodosus using multiplex qPCR of lesion samples from sheep in the Netherlands [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceDichelobacter 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

Field Validation of a Non-carcinogenic and Eco-Friendly Disinfectant in a Stand-In Footbath for Treatment of Footrot Associated With aprV2-Positive Strains of Dichelobacter nodosus in Swiss Sheep Flocks [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 A national control program for virulent footrot is currently planned in Switzerland. Since commonly used disinfectants either contain heavy metals or are carcinogenic, the aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness of an eco-friendly and non ...

Genomic Evidence for a Globally Distributed, Bimodal Population in the Ovine Footrot Pathogen
mBio, 2014 Footrot is a contagious, debilitating disease of sheep, causing major economic losses in most sheep-producing countries. The causative agent is the Gram-negative anaerobe Dichelobacter nodosus. Depending on the virulence of the infective bacterial strain,
