DEF

Enfermedad infecto-contagiosa de los lanares específicamente, ocasionada por la proliferación de ciertas bacterias en los tejidos blandos del pie (piel en la proximidad de las pezuñas).

CONT

El pietín, foot rot o pedero, es una enfermedad específica de ovinos y caprinos, de gran importancia económica. Si bien obedece a una etiología polimicrobiana, los gérmenes anaerobios Bacteroides nodosus y Fusobacterium necrophorum, son los más importantes [...] En la aparición de la enfermedad también influyen ciertos factores que determinan el establecimiento de los patógenos en la pezuña, como la raza y edad del ovino, la humedad y temperatura ambiente, la alimentación y el manejo, entre otros.

Record 2 2010-05-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Diseases
DEF

Any disease or lesion with which Fusobacterium necrophorum is associated.

OBS

It includes necrotic laryngitis [...], necrotic stomatitis of calves, necrotic rhinitis of pigs [...], foot rot of cattle [...], foot abscess of sheep [...], postparturient necrosis of the vagina and uterus, focal necrosis of the liver of cattle and sheep, quittor of horses [...], and numerous other necrotic lesions in ruminants and, less commonly, in pigs, horses, fowl, and rabbits. F. necrophorum is probably a secondary invader rather than a primary etiologic agent and is usually present as part of a mixed infection. However, its necrotizing exotoxin undoubtedly plays a role in the production of characteristic lesions. It is part of the normal flora of the mouth, intestine, and genital tract of many herbivores and omnivores and it is widespread in the environment.
