  • Patent number: 11331381
    Abstract: The present invention provides new pharmaceutical and vaccine compositions comprising Treponema spp. bacterins, supplemented with antigens from Treponema spp. or other digital dermatitis causative pathological agents such as but not limited to D. nodosus or F. necrophorum, for effectively immunizing susceptible mammals, preferably ungulates, against DD, in particular against bovine digital dermatitis. The present invention also identifies Treponema pedis and Treponema phagedenis as two of the etiologic agents of digital dermatitis (DD) in mammals, in particular ungulate digital dermatitis. The invention therefore also provides isolated cultures of Treponema pedis and Treponema phagedenis for effectively immunizing susceptible mammals, preferably ungulates, against DD, in particular against bovine digital dermatitis. In addition, the present invention provides methods of diagnosing DD by detecting infection with a series of specific Treponema antigens.
