Foot health and prevalence of Dichelobacter nodosus in 11 ungulate species at Berne Animal Park. [PDF]

, 2020
INTRODUCTION Dichelobacter nodosus (D. nodosus) is the etiological agent of ovine footrot affecting mainly sheep worldwide, but also free-ranging wild ungulates such as Alpine ibex (Capra ibex ibex) and mufflon (Ovis orientalis orientalis).

Draft Genome Sequence of Dichelobacter nodosus ATCC 25549, Strain VPI 2340 [11342], a Bacterium Causing Footrot in Sheep. [PDF]

Genome Announc, 2015
We report a draft genome sequence for Dichelobacter nodosus ATCC 25549, strain VPI 2340 [11342], a causative agent of ovine footrot. The draft genome shares ~98% gene similarity with the available genome of D.

Glycosylation of type-IV fimbriae of Dichelobacter nodosus

Veterinary Microbiology, 2008
Dichelobacter nodosus is the causative agent of ovine footrot and the type-IV fimbriae on this bacterium are essential for maintaining its virulence. In this study, we reveal that these fimbriae are glycosylated. This was demonstrated in several ways: by the detection of carbohydrate on fimbrial protein using periodic acid Schiff reagent (PAS) staining

Prevalence of footrot in Swedish slaughter lambs

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2011
Background Footrot is a world-wide contagious disease in sheep and goats. It is an infection of the epidermis of the interdigital skin, and the germinal layers of the horn tissue of the feet.

Multiple plasmid origin‐of‐transfer regions might aid the spread of antimicrobial resistance to human pathogens

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2020., 2020
A structural alignment procedure developed here enables finding and typing plasmid‐borne origin‐of‐transfer substrates in large plasmid datasets. Thousands of putative DNA transfer substrates are identified, showing that plasmid mobility can be twofold higher and span almost twofold more host species than is currently known.

Surveying bovine digital dermatitis and non‐healing bovine foot lesions for the presence of Fusobacterium necrophorum, Porphyromonas endodontalis and Treponema pallidum

Veterinary Record, Volume 186, Issue 14, Page 450-450, April 2020., 2020
Background Non‐healing bovine foot lesions, including non‐healing white line disease, non‐healing sole ulcer and toe necrosis, are an increasingly important cause of chronic lameness that are poorly responsive to treatment. Recent studies have demonstrated a high‐level association between these non‐healing lesions and the Treponema phylogroups ...

Differential expression of Toll-like receptors and inflammatory cytokines in ovine interdigital dermatitis and footrot [PDF]

, 2014
Footrot is a common inflammatory bacterial disease affecting the health and welfare of sheep worldwide. The pathogenesis of footrot is complex and multifactorial.

Genetic organization of the duplicated vap region of the Dichelobacter nodosus genome [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1994
The recombinant plasmid pJIR318 contains a fragment of the Dichelobacter nodosus genome which is associated with virulence. Sequence analysis of the pJIR318 insert has shown that it contains four vap (virulence-associated protein) genes which are homologous to open reading frames found on the Escherichia coli F plasmid and the Neisseria gonorrhoeae ...

Molecular characterization of a genomic region associated with virulence in Dichelobacter nodosus [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1992
The major pathogen implicated in footrot, a highly contagious disease of sheep, is the strict anaerobe Dichelobacter nodosus (formerly Bacteroides nodosus). Sequence analysis of a 2,262-bp segment of the D. nodosus genome which is more prevalent in virulent isolates than in other isolates showed the presence of four open reading frames which appeared ...

Longitudinal Dichelobacter nodosus status in 9 sheep flocks free from clinical footrot [PDF]

, 2015
Footrot is a widespread problem in Swiss sheep farming. The objectives of this study were to determine whether flocks which were clinically free from footrot carry virulent strains of Dichelobacter nodosus, and to describe the infection dynamics for ...
