Within-Flock Population Dynamics of Dichelobacter nodosus [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017 Footrot causes 70–90% of lameness in sheep in Great Britain. With approximately 5% of 18 million adult sheep lame at any one time, it costs the UK sheep industry £24–84 million per year.

Experimental infection of cattle with ovine Dichelobacter nodosus isolates. [PDF]
Acta Vet Scand, 2015 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. The aim of this study was to investigate if benign and virulent D.

Potential transmission routes of Dichelobacter nodosus
Veterinary Microbiology, 2018 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. More information about the transmission of D. nodosus is needed for effective footrot control programs.

Pooling of interdigital swab samples for PCR detection of virulent Dichelobacter nodosus [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2018 Virulent ovine foot rot is a contagious foot disease. Given the development and validation of a real-time PCR to detect Dichelobacter nodosus isolates that contain the virulence-associated protease genes aprV2 and aprB2, the diagnosis of foot rot has ...
