GENERAL INFORMATION:Footrot (infectious pododermatitis), is a hoof infection commonly found in sheep, goats, and cattle. It is responsible for the majority of cases of lameness in sheep. In sheep, there are two types of bacteria involved in causing footrot. Dichelobacter nodosus is the main cause of the disease, while Fusobacterium necrophorum is an associated pathogen. The two usually have a synergistic effect together. D. nodosus is an anaerobic, non-sporulating, Gram-negative bacterium. F. necrophorum, which is always present in the atmosphere, is an obligate anaerob, Gram-negative bacterium and produces a number of exotoxins that damage the hoof of the animal. Fusobacterium necrophorum is classified into subsp. necrophorum and subsp. funduliforme. Replication of the bacteria and disease transmission usually occur under humid and hot weather conditions that are typical of the rainy season.
