Isolation and molecular characterization of Dichelobacter nodosus isolated from sheep in Brazil

Isolation 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...

Molecular Characterization of Echinococcus granulosus Isolated from Sheep and Camel in Iran

Isolation and molecular characterization of Cryptococcus species isolated from pigeon nests and Eucalyptus trees

Background and Purpose: Cryptococcus species are pathogenic and non-pathogenic basidiomycete yeasts that are found widely in the environment. Based on phenotypic methods, this genus has many species; however, its taxonomy is presently being re- evaluated by modern techniques. The Cryptococcus species complex includes two sibling taxa of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. We aimed ...

Molecular characterization of ureaplasmas isolated from reproductive tract of goats and sheep from Brazil

Ovine/caprine ureaplasmas have not yet been assigned a species designation, but they have been classified into nine serotypes. Herein ureaplasmas were searched for in 120 samples of vulvo vaginal mucous from sheep and 98 samples from goats at 17 farms. In addition, semen samples were collected from 11 sheep and 23 goats. The recovered ureaplasma were from sheep and goats from animals without an...
