ABSTRACT

Infectious causes of lameness in sheep remain of considerable clinical importance. Because of the availability of newly licensed drugs, important changes in therapy options, particularly for ovine footrot, have occurred. This paper provides an overview of common and rarer infectious causes of lameness in sheep, and presents a detailed review of recent advances in research regarding the aetiology, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and control of ovine foot rot. Despite the recent release of several antibiotics licensed for the treatment of footrot in sheep, the use of footbaths following the cascade of regulations remains a crucial part of many integrated treatment and control programmes. The sustainable control of foot rot requires recent advances in science to be put into practice, with tailor-made control programmes for each individual farm. The article presents various treatment options and potential routes of control and eradication.

ABSTRACT

From September 2008 to April 2009 several cases of spontaneous bleeding and nodules from the back and withers area of cattle otherwise considered as healthy have been reported from several farms in south-western and southern Germany. Successive investigation of these cases gave strong evidence of Parafilaria (P.) bovicola infections due to their seasonal occurrence and specific pathological lesions. There was no history of animal import from endemic countries for the affected cattle herds. In one case, a nodule containing nematode fragments and an intact female nematode were recovered from a slaughtered White Galloway bull. This sample was identified as P. bovicola and is the first report of bovine parafilariosis in Germany.
