Abstract
Spirochetes of the genus Treponema were cultured from 7 of 10 cases of digital dermatitis in sheep. Two cultures comprised Treponema phagedenis -like and Treponema medium/Treponema vincentii -like spirochetes, respectively, while the remaining cultures comprised mixed populations of Treponema medium/Treponema vincentii -like, Treponema phagedenis -like, and Treponema denticola/Treponema putidum -like organisms.Keywords
