Ovine footrot: new insights into bacterial colonisation [PDF]
, 2016 Ovine footrot is characterised by interdigital dermatitis (ID) and by the separation of the skin and hoof horn (under-running footrot). Dichelobacter nodosus is the essential pathogen causing footrot; the role of other microorganisms in this disease ...

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.

Ewe culling in New Zealand: an interview study of 38 farmers
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 361-371, June 2024.ABSTRACT Removal of ewes from a flock before the end of their productive life, sometimes described as ewe wastage, can potentially lead to reduced flock productivity. While the main reasons for culling ewes are largely known, their relative importance to New Zealand farmers and farmers’ rational behind their culling decisions are not.

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 184, Issue 3, Page 339-351, May 2024.This is a predominantly qualitative study of the beliefs and behaviours of sheep farmers, and their veterinarians, from across Northern Ireland, surrounding their flock health plans and flock health planning process. Sheep farmers participating saw their health plan as a static, physical document rather than an ongoing continuous cycle of improvement ...

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 ...
