The Presence of <i>Treponema</i> spp. in Equine Hoof Canker Biopsies and Skin Samples from Bovine Digital Dermatitis Lesions

Equine hoof canker and bovine digital dermatitis are infectious inflammatory diseases of the hooves with an unknown etiology. However, anaerobic spirochetes of the genus <i>Treponema</i> are considered to be potential etiological agents. The aim of this study was to find a suitable way t...
