Evaluating observer agreement of scoring systems for foot integrity and footrot lesions in sheep

BMC Veterinary Research, 2012
Background A scoring scale with five ordinal categories is used for visual diagnosis of footrot in sheep and to study its epidemiology and control. More recently a 4 point ordinal scale has been used by researchers to score foot integrity (wall and sole ...

Adaptive Immunity in Marsupials

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 9, Page 913-932, November 2026.
Comparison of the marsupial and eutherian adaptive immune systems. ABSTRACT Marsupials diverged from eutherian mammals 125–160 million years ago. Although evolutionarily distinct, both groups of mammals can produce complex adaptive immune responses to antigens with several key differences.

Land use and soil characteristics are associated with increased risk of treponeme‐associated hoof disease in elk

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Environments can shape the occurrence and extent of disease outbreaks in wildlife. We studied the effects of environmental features on the occurrence of treponeme‐associated hoof disease (TAHD), an emerging infectious disease of free‐ranging elk (Cervus canadensis), in southwestern Washington, USA.

Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous and Transdermal Flunixin Meglumine in Wool and Hair Sheep (Ovis aries)

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 484-490, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of flunixin meglumine of intravenous (IV) and transdermal (TD) flunixin meglumine administration on different coat types (wool vs. hair) in 12 healthy sheep. Polled dorset (wool) sheep (n = 6) and katahdin (hair) sheep (n = 6) received 2.2 mg/kg IV and 3.3 mg/kg TD with a 10‐day ...

Understanding how on‐farm biosecurity perceptions and practices of New South Wales sheep producers have been impacted by the 2022 foot‐and‐mouth disease outbreak in Indonesia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 9, Page 592-602, September 2025.
Foot‐and‐mouth disease (FMD) is a highly infectious transboundary emergency animal disease posing a significant threat to the global economy. Australia strengthened border security following the 2022 FMD outbreak in Indonesia allocating resources to promote biosecurity awareness and engagement.

Optimization of a Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Assay for In-Field Detection of Dichelobacter nodosus With aprV2 (VDN LAMP) in Victorian Sheep Flocks

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Dichelobacter nodosus is the primary etiological agent of footrot in sheep and has a variety of virulence factors. Of these, AprV2, an extracellular protease, has been shown to be capable of causing severe or “virulent” disease symptoms under the right ...

Diagnosing and managing footrot in sheep: an update [PDF]

In Practice, 2017
In 2011, the Farm Animal Welfare Council proposed that by 2021 the prevalence of lameness in a flock of sheep should average less than 2 per cent. This has been made possible using the considerable amount of UK research into lameness, and footrot in particular, that has occurred since 2000.

All Roads Lead to Rome: Pathways to Engineering Disease Resistance in Plants

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, February 3, 2025.
Crops lost to diseases necessitate a deeper understanding of plant immunity and the development of disease resistance. Here, the arms‐race between plants and pathogens is briefly described, and a comprehensive overview of the current and emerging strategies for engineering disease resistance in plants is provided.
