| severity and persistence of footrot in merino sheep experimentally infected with a protease thermostable strain of dichelobacter nodosus at five sites. | to test the hypothesis that ovine footrot associated with a thermostable protease strain of dichelobacter nodosus undergoes self cure or is sustained as an annually recurring disease, depending on the environment. | 1998 | 9578765 |
| occurrence of different strains of dichelobacter nodosus in new clinical lesions in sheep exposed to footrot associated with multi-strain infections. | to investigate the occurrence of s1, u1 and t strains of dichelobacter nodosus in new clinical lesions in sheep exposed to footrot associated with multi-strain infections. | 2000 | 10840576 |
| understanding the molecular epidemiology of the footrot pathogen dichelobacter nodosus to support control and eradication programs. | the gram-negative anaerobe dichelobacter nodosus is the primary etiologic agent of ovine footrot. few studies of the genetic diversity and epidemiology of d. nodosus have been done, despite the economic cost and welfare implications of the disease. this study examined a large collection of australian isolates; 735 isolates from footrot-infected sheep from 247 farms in western australia (wa) were tested by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge), and a subset of 616 isolates was tested by infrequ ... | 2010 | 20071558 |
| detection and diversity of a putative novel heterogeneous polymorphic proline-glycine repeat (pgr) protein in the footrot pathogen dichelobacter nodosus. | dichelobacter nodosus, a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, is the essential causative agent of footrot in sheep. currently, depending on the clinical presentation in the field, footrot is described as benign or virulent; d. nodosus strains have also been classified as benign or virulent, but this designation is not always consistent with clinical disease. the aim of this study was to determine the diversity of the pgr gene, which encodes a putative proline-glycine repeat protein (pgr). the pgr ... | 2011 | 20655152 |
