Case Description- A two- year-old female goat with a dark mass on the left hoof was referred to veterinary clinic of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman.Clinical Findings- A large black and hemorrhagic tumor-like tissue was observed on the left hoof. The epidermis was intact and hairless.Treatment and Outcome- Considering the good body condition of the patient, the mass was removed surgically. ...

Context Contagious ovine digital dermatitis (CODD) is related to bovine digital dermatitis, both being strongly associated with the pathogenic treponemes: Treponema medium, Treponema phagedenis and Treponema pedis. Other Treponema species-associated diseases with distinct clinical presentations have also been identified in goats and wild elk. In sheep, other causes of infectious lameness are al...

Antibodies raised against prekeratin intensely and specifically stain, in immunofluorescence microscopy, Mallory bodies ("alcoholic hyalin") present in livers of human alcoholics and griseofulyin-treated mice. The high sensitivity of this method allows the identification of small distinct cytoplasmic structures that are observed during early stages of Mallory body formation, especially frequent...

The efficacy of two topical treatments for painful ulcerative stage (M2) of bovine digital dermatitis (BDD) lesions was compared in a clinical trial conducted on five dairy farms in 2009 to 2010. The first treatment was a water-based gel with active components copper and zinc (Intra Hoof-fit gel [IHF]) and the second treatment was a topical chlortetracycline spray (CTC spray). The experimental ...

This study used a PCR-based approach targeting 16S rRNA gene fragments to determine the occurrence and association of the three bovine digital dermatitis (BDD) treponeme phylogroups within lesions found in cattle from the United Kingdom. Examination of 51 BDD lesions collected from infected cattle across the United Kingdom revealed that BDD treponeme group 1 (Treponema medium/Treponema vincenti...

Optical methods are becoming commonplace in investigations of the physical and mechanical behavior of biological tissues. Digital image correlation (DIC) is a versatile optical method that shows tremendous promise for applications involving biological tissues and biomaterials. We present the fundamentals of DIC with an emphasis on the application to biological materials. An approach for surface...
