Introduction: Great Britain has over 15 million ewes. Lameness is one of the top three most economically important diseases for the sheep industry, costing about £80 million per annum. The prevalence of lameness reduced from 10% to 5% between 2004 an...

Differences in composition of interdigital skin microbiota predict sheep and feet that develop footrot (2022)
Journal Article
Clifton, R., Monaghan, E. M., Green, M. J., Purdy, K. J., & Green, L. E. (2022). Differences in composition of interdigital skin microbiota predict sheep and feet that develop footrot. Scientific Reports, 12, Article 8931. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-12772-7

Footrot has a major impact on health and productivity of sheep worldwide. The current paradigm for footrot pathogenesis is that physical damage to the interdigital skin (IDS) facilitates invasion of the essential pathogen Dichelobacter nodosus. The c...

Development and validation of a multiple locus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) scheme for Fusobacterium necrophorum (2017)
Journal Article
R, C., L E, G., & K J, P. (2018). Development and validation of a multiple locus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) scheme for Fusobacterium necrophorum. Veterinary Microbiology, 213, 108-113. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2017.11.017

Fusobacterium necrophorum is associated with various diseases in humans and animals. Reservoirs (sites where the pathogen persists in the absence of disease) of F. necrophorum are believed to be present in healthy individuals e.g. tonsillar epitheliu...
