Abstract
Isolates (31) of B. nodosus were obtained from foot lesions of cattle at 3 abattoirs. All isolates were similar to the B. nodosus of ovine benign footrot (BFR) in their response to the degrading proteinase test. At 1 abattoir, where the interdigital lesions were examined in detail, 9 of 10 isolates were obtained from hyperkeratotic lesions with deep fissures. BFR was seen in sheep on 4 of 8 farms of origin which carried both sheep and cattle. The significance of B. nodosus in interdigital lesions in cattle and its possible pathogenicity are discussed.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
