“…Infectious lameness of sheep and goats causes extensive morbidity worldwide, including in India. The present study focused primarily on HP and the bordering areas of J&K where footrot is of major concern (17, 18,19,20,21). The state of HP has geoclimatic conditions and husbandry practices similar to J&K and rearing of sheep and goats is a major activity for the Gaddi community and marginal farmers.…”

“…The duplicate swabs were processed aerobically. Among the anaerobic bacterial species, only isolation of D. nodosus was attempted as it was reported to be the major cause of lameness in the neighbouring state of J&K (17,18,19,20,21); F. necrophorum and T. pyogenes (microaerophilic) detection was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).…”

“…In India there are several published reports (17,18,19,20,21) that highlight the incidence of footrot in sheep and goats in the neighbouring state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), especially in the Kashmir division. In the state of J&K, losses in sheep production as a result of footrot were estimated around Rs 36.79 million (US$0.56 million) (20) and Rs 15.82 million (US$0.25 million) (21) per annum in south Kashmir and central Kashmir, respectively.…”

Various bacterial species, particularly Dichelobacter nodosus, Fusobacterium necrophorum, Trueperella pyogenes (previously Arcanobacterium pyogenes) and Treponema spp., have been implicated in infectious conditions manifesting in lameness in sheep and goat populations. The current study reports the causes of infectious lameness in the north-western Himalayan region, particularly Himachal Pradesh (HP), where no such study has been conducted in the past. Among a total surveyed population of 27,586 animals, comprised of 15,006 sheep and 12,580 goats, 216 samples were collected from foot lesions. A total of 6.48% (14/216) samples were positive for D. nodosus, 20.83% (45/216) for F. necrophorum and 20.37% (44/216) for T. pyogenes. In three instances, all of the three aforementioned bacteria were present in a single foot lesion. Most of the positive samples were from areas in the state of HP adjoining the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), where footrot is endemic. The confirmation of footrot in HP and the fact that F. necrophorum and T. pyogenes were detected from cases of foot/hoof infection in high numbers emphasises that these organisms play an important role in inducing morbidity in migratory sheep and goats. The present investigation also confirms the detection of D. nodosus from cases of footrot for the first time from HP. With new reports identifying F. necrophorum as a pathogen with a potential role in aggravating infection caused by footrot, the development of a combined vaccine to prevent lameness in sheep and goats in the north-western Himalayan region has been suggested.

“…Quanto ao exame microbiológico a porcentagem de isolamento neste trabalho (62%) é semelhante ao de Jimenez et al (2003) que isolou D. nodosus em 64,5% das 45 amostras provenientes da região do Alentejo em Portugal, Hussain et al (2009) com 64% das 128 amostras na Ín-dia; próxima aos 56,8% obtidos por Piriz et al (1990) em um estudo na região de Caceres na Espanha e Moore et al (2005) com 56% das 95 amostras de ovinos com pododermatite na Inglaterra e Pais de Gales. Por outro lado, o isolamento foi inferior ao publicado por Hurtado et al (1998) que isolou 77,7% em um estudo com 216 amostras de ovinos com pododermatite na Espanha.…”

“…A explicação da variação do número de amostras positivas por propriedade, é que algumas amostras podem ter um menor número de bactérias ou as lesões estarem em processo de cura (Hussain et al 2009). O tipo do meio de transporte utilizado pode inϐluenciar o isolamento por estar diretamente relacionado com a viabilidade da bactéria presente na amostra após a coleta (Nogueira et al 2007).…”

ABSTRACT.-Carvalho V.S., Araújo B.R., Vasconcelos T.C., Chiminazzo C., Costa Neto A.O., Ayres M.C.C., Guimarães J. In this paper, Santa Inês crossbred sheep with footrot were evaluated, checking the changes on leukogram and the acute phase proteins. In the ϐirst experiment, 70 females were divided into three groups according to their podal scores: a control group (G1) with score 0, scald group (G2) with score 1 or 2 and a footrot group (G3) with score 3, 4 or 5. During two months, the clinical course and its effect on leukogram were observed at ϐive moments: M1 (day 0), M2 (day 15), M3 (day 30), M4 (day 45) and M5 (day 60). The intensity of the white blood cell count was low magnitude, observing signiϐicant changes (p <0.05) as a mild leukocytosis (G3, M4), attributed to neutrophilia and a slight increase in the total number of monocytes (G3, M2 and M3) despite the extensive damage and tissue necrosis existed during the ϐinal stage of the disease. In the second experiment, 105 animals from seven farms were used with the objective of isolating the causative agent and to evaluate the effect of disease on total plasma protein and acute phase proteins. The animals were also divided into three groups: control, scald and footrot. In all farms, the isolation of Dichelobacter nodosus was regarded. For the different stages of the disease on the proteins studied there was no signiϐicant correlation (p<0.05) but the haptoglobin in scald and footrot groups showed higher average than the control group. Based on these results, we conclude that the acute phase proteins studied were not efϐicient in the characterization of the phases of the disease and the leukocyte response was mild, making it difϐicult to use for this purpose.
