Footrot in sheep and goats: a case study

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 6, Page 330-331, June 2025.
This observational study highlights the apparent lower severity of footrot in goats compared with sheep, the risk of false negative results from elastase tests, the need to clean contractors' equipment between properties and indicates the potential use of kidding (or lambing) time and individual mob biosecurity in managing footrot.

Sheep and farm level factors associated with footrot: a longitudinal repeated cross‐sectional study of sheep on six farms in the UK

Veterinary Record, Volume 182, Issue 10, Page 293-293, March 2018., 2018
Footrot is an ovine foot disease of infectious origin and a cause of serious welfare and economic compromise in affected animals and flocks. The development of footrot in sheep is associated with the infectious agent Dichelobacter nodosus, which may invade as a primary pathogen, but the risk of disease is increased following damage to the interdigital ...

Natural Mycoplasma Infection Reduces Expression of Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines in Response to Ovine Footrot Pathogens

Animals, 2022
Ovine footrot is a complex multifactorial infectious disease, causing lameness in sheep with major welfare and economic consequences. Dichelobacter nodosus is the main causative bacterium; however, footrot is a polymicrobial disease with Fusobacterium ...

Periparturient mortality in merino ewes in Australia: Incidence, impact and the path to mitigation strategies

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 5, Page 287-297, May 2025.
Managing breeding ewe mortality is a priority for the Australian sheep industry. The periparturient period carries the highest risk of mortality, but the incidence and causes in Merino ewes are not well characterised. Here, we outline the reported incidence of annual and periparturient mortality for Australian Merino ewes, causes and risk factors for ...

Assessment of listing and categorisation of animal diseases within the framework of the Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) No 2016/429): ovine epididymitis (Brucella ovis)

EFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2017., 2017
Abstract Ovine epididymitis (Brucella ovis) has been assessed according to the criteria of the Animal Health Law (AHL), in particular criteria of Article 7 on disease profile and impacts, Article 5 on the eligibility of ovine epididymitis to be listed, Article 9 for the categorisation of ovine epididymitis according to disease prevention and control ...

The role of PilU in the surface behaviors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 83-95, February 2025.
Abstract In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the dynamic activity of type IV pilus (TFP) is essential for various bacterial behaviors. While PilU is considered a homolog of the TFP disassembling motor PilT, its specific roles remain unclear. Using pilus visualization and single‐cell tracking techniques, we characterized TFP dynamics and surface behaviors in ...

Electroporation-mediated transformation of the ovine footrot pathogenDichelobacter nodosus [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1998
Studies on the potential virulence genes of the ovine footrot pathogen Dichelobacter nodosus have been hindered by the lack of a genetic system for this organism. In an attempt to accomplish the transformation of D. nodosus cells, we constructed a plasmid that contained part of a native D. nodosus plasmid and carried a tetracycline resistance gene that

Prevalence of bacterial species associated with ovine footrot and contagious ovine digital dermatitis in Swedish slaughter lambs

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2022
Background Ovine footrot and contagious ovine digital dermatitis (CODD) are contagious mixed bacterial infections with major impacts on animal health and production. In Sweden, ovine footrot and CODD were first detected in 2004 and 2019, respectively. In
