A recently introduced Dichelobacter nodosus strain caused an outbreak of footrot in Norway
BACKGROUND In 2008, an outbreak of ovine footrot occurred in Norway. Dichelobacter nodosus isolates collected between 2008 and 2011 have been characterised. Isolates defined as virulent by the gelatin gel test (GG-test) were only found in sheep in Rogaland County, where the severe cases of footrot were registered. The majority (96%) of the virulent isolates belonged to serogroup A. It is suspec...
متن کاملGenomic Evidence for a Globally Distributed, Bimodal Population in the Ovine Footrot Pathogen Dichelobacter nodosus
UNLABELLED Footrot is a contagious, debilitating disease of sheep, causing major economic losses in most sheep-producing countries. The causative agent is the Gram-negative anaerobe Dichelobacter nodosus. Depending on the virulence of the infective bacterial strain, clinical signs vary from a mild interdigital dermatitis (benign footrot) to severe underrunning of the horn of the hoof (virulent ...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterisation of Dichelobacter Nodosus from Footrot Infected Sheep in Malaysia
Introduction Dichelobacter nodosus is the causative agent of severe footrot, a contagious debilitating disease which affects ruminants particularly sheep and goats. The disease is characterised by separation of the hom of the hoof from the underlying soft tissues resulting in lameness, loss of body condition and reduced wool production (Rood et al. 1996). The first case of footrot in Malaysia w...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Dichelobacter nodosus ATCC 25549, Strain VPI 2340 [11342], a Bacterium Causing Footrot in Sheep
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. nodosus strain VCS1703A but is differentiated by extensive gene duplication and the absence of 13 particular genes.
متن کاملSurvival of the ovine footrot pathogen Dichelobacter nodosus in different soils.
Dichelobacter nodosus (D. nodosus) is the causative agent of footrot in sheep; one of the most important health and welfare issues of sheep worldwide. For control programmes to be effective, it is essential that the transmission cycle of D. nodosus is understood and bacterial reservoirs in the environment are better defined. This study evaluated the survival of D. nodosus in different soils usi...
