“…Footrot has been notified as the main cause of lameness in ruminants. The prevalence of footrot lesions has been reported in many countries, such as United Kingdom (8-10%) [13], Bhutan (3.1%) [14], India (12-15%) [15][16][17], Sweden (5.8% in slaughter lambs with score ≥2) [18], Germany (42.93%) [19], Bangladesh (4.4%) [20], The prevalence of lameness in general in dairy cows has been investigated clinically in Algeria (13%) [21].…”

Background and Aim: Footrot is a contagious disease of ruminants leading to severe economic losses. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence, virulence, and serogroups of Dichelobacter nodosus and the prevalence of Fusobacterium necrophorum in footrot lesions of sheep and cattle. Materials and Methods: A total of 106 pathogenic lesion samples were taken from 74 sheep and 32 cattle exhibiting typical footrot lesions and were analyzed for the presence of D. nodosus and F. necrophorum by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Both virulence and serogroup were estimated for D. nodosus positive samples. Results: Among the 106 samples, 89 were positive by PCR for F. necrophorum, D. nodosus, or both. Dichelobacter nodosus was detected at a rate of 78.3% versus 28.3% for F. necrophorum. Virulent D. nodosus strains were detected in 67.5% of positive samples, with a higher rate in sheep (73.4%) than in cattle (47.4%). Benign D. nodosus strains were detected in 57.8% of samples, with a lower prevalence rate in sheep (50%) than in cattle (84.2%). The positive samples of D. nodosus revealed the presence of three dominant serogroups (D, H, I) and three minor serogroups (G, C, A) by serogroup-specific multiplex PCR. Conclusion: The findings provided information on the prevalence of D. nodosus and F. necrophorum strains in footrot lesions of sheep and cattle in some regions of Morocco, which will be useful for developing an effective autovaccine for the prevention of this disease in cattle and sheep in these regions. Keywords: cattle, Dichelobacter nodosus, footrot, Fusobacterium necrophorum, polymerase chain reaction, sheep.

Background: A dozen of veterinary academic institutions offer degree courses with pre-clinical and clinical studies and conduct research works but their activities are not coordinated and unified in Bangladesh. An attempt has been made to review the pre-clinical and clinical research reports in small ruminants which would help the concerned academicians, research scientists and research funded organizations to update their knowledge of specialization and use this reference as a starting point for formulation of the future academic and research guidelines. Objectives: The main objectives are to provide an integrated, systematic overview of all the available published research reports on the pre-clinical and clinical aspects of small ruminants to update knowledge and to identify research insights, existing gaps and future research directions. Materials and Methods: The available research reports on pre-clinical and clinical aspects of small ruminants published mainly in journals during the last six decades in Bangladesh from 1966 to 2019 were reviewed. Data obtained were analyzed statistically based on pre-clinical and clinical subjects, host species, age, breeds, clinical prevalence and decade-wise to assess the rate of publication. Results: Of the 665 selected articles, 621 research papers published on small ruminants during the last six decades from Bangladesh were systematically reviewed, of which 340 (54.75%) articles reported as pre-clinical and 281 (45.25%) on clinical aspects with significantly higher rates in goats (n = 486; 78.26%) than sheep (n = 135; 21.74%). Out of 126 recorded clinical diseases and disorders in small ruminants, 125 (99.21%) reported in goats and 44 (34.92%) in sheep, with 43 (34.13%) common in both goats and sheep but only pregnancy toxaemia (0.79%) reported in sheep. The influence of age and breeds on the prevalence of clinical diseases and disorders associated with their morbidity and mortality are described and discussed. Conclusions: This unified review article would serve as a guide for the veterinary medical academicians, research scientists and organizations for future studies and research directions. The disease profiles and their morbidity and mortality status in small ruminants might help the practicing veterinarians, government, human health care providers and neighboring countries who may need to take action.
