Isolation and Characterisation of Dichelobacter Nodosus from Footrot Infected Sheep in Malaysia [PDF]
Twelve Dichelobacter nodosus were isolated from 12 sheep with footrot with lesion score 2. The isolates were studied and the results analysed. Diagnosis was done successfully by Gram-stain method while polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method with species ...

Reducing exposure to pathogens in the horse; A preliminary study into the survival of bacteria on a range of equine bedding types [PDF]
Aims: Compare the rate of growth of four microbial strains that cause disease in the equine, on four commonly used types of bedding. The moisture holding capacity of each bedding type was also tested. Methods and results: Microbial strains included,

Ovine footrot: A review of current knowledge [PDF]
Footrot is a contagious foot disease mainly affecting sheep. It is caused by the Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium Dichelobacter nodosus. Warm, wet environmental conditions favour development of footrot, and under perfect conditions, it takes just 2–3 ...

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

Epidemiological information in sheep health management [PDF]
We use epidemiology whenever we consider the management of sheep health. To measure a disease, we need a precise and unique case definition and we often use diagnostic tests to assist in defining a disease. Diagnostic tests are not always accurate. Thus,

Molecular analysis of Dichelobacter nodosus isolated from footrot in sheep in Malaysia [PDF]
Pulsed field gel electrophoresis analysis of genomic DNA was used to investigate genetic diversity among Dichelobacter nodosus from footrot in sheep in Malaysia. Twelve Dichelobacter nodosus strains isolated from lesion materials from infected sheep were confirmed as Dichelobacter nodosus by polymerase chain reaction technique using the species ...

Bacterial species associated with interdigital phlegmon outbreaks in Finnish dairy herds
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

The subtilisin-like protease AprV2 is required for virulence and uses a novel disulphide-tethered exosite to bind substrates. [PDF]
Many bacterial pathogens produce extracellular proteases that degrade the extracellular matrix of the host and therefore are involved in disease pathogenesis. Dichelobacter nodosus is the causative agent of ovine footrot, a highly contagious disease that
