Ovine footrot is a complex multifactorial infectious disease, causing lameness in sheep with major welfare and economic consequences. Dichelobacter nodosus is the main causative bacterium; however, footrot is a polymicrobial disease with Fusobacteriu...

Gut transcriptome reveals differential gene expression and enriched pathways linked to immune activation in response to weaning in pigs (2022)
Journal Article
Le Bon, M., Tötemeyer, S., Emes, R. D., & Mellits, K. H. (2022). Gut transcriptome reveals differential gene expression and enriched pathways linked to immune activation in response to weaning in pigs. Frontiers in Genetics, 13, Article 961474. https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2022.961474

Weaning represents one of the most critical periods in pig production associated with increase in disease risk, reduction in performance and economic loss. Physiological changes faced by piglets during the weaning period have been well characterised,...

Journal Article
Marshall, H. J., Blanchard, A. M., Kelly, K. R., Goh, J. N., Williams, A. D., King, L., …Tötemeyer, S. (2022). The impact of glutaraldehyde based footbaths on Dichelobacter nodosus prevalence and the antimicrobial resistant community of the ovine interdigital skin. Veterinary Microbiology, 272, Article 109459. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2022.109459

Ovine footrot, is a highly contagious polymicrobial bacterial infection, primarily caused by Dichelobacter nodosus. Preventative bactericidal footbaths are commonly used in the sheep industry to reduce the spread of bacteria. However, their effect on...
