Rapid and Cost‐Effective Platypus eDNA Detection in Waterways Using Loop‐Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay: Advancing Conservation Efforts

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 5, September–October 2024.
The platypus faces multiple threats, necessitating practical monitoring tools like the Plat‐LAMP assay for rapid DNA detection in water samples. This study showcases the assay's sensitivity, specificity, and potential for cost‐effective, field‐friendly environmental monitoring to aid platypus conservation.

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

First description of interdigital hyperplasia associated with contagious ovine digital dermatitis in two sheep

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Interdigital hyperplasia (IH) is a fold of fibrous tissue protruding into the interdigital space that rarely occurs in sheep. Interdigital hyperplasia secondary infected with bovine digital dermatitis (BDD) treponemes has been reported in cattle in the ...

Bacterial species associated with interdigital phlegmon outbreaks in Finnish dairy herds

BMC Veterinary Research, 2019
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]

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
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

Molecular detection and characterization of Dichelobacter nodosus in ovine footrot in India

Molecular and Cellular Probes, 2004
Dichelobacter nodosus was detected in three clinical cases of ovine footrot in Kashmir, India. The detection was done by PCR in three clinical specimens directly, without isolating the organism, using species-specific 16S rDNA primers. Positive results were indicated by amplification of a 783 bp product.

Table_5_Impact of Strain Variation of Dichelobacter nodosus on Disease Severity and Presence in Sheep Flocks in England.DOCX

, 2021
AprV2 and aprB2 are variants of the apr gene of Dichelobacter nodosus, the cause of footrot in sheep. They are putative markers for severe and mild disease expression.
