Bacterial community analysis of treponeme-associated hoof disease in free-ranging elk (Cervus canadensis): evidence for a polybacterial etiology with geographic consistency

ABSTRACT Treponeme-associated hoof disease (TAHD) is an emerging infectious disease in free-ranging elk (Cervus canadensis) characterized by ulcerative and necrosuppurative pododermatitis with spirochete bacteria that leads to lameness and apparent increased mortality. While TAHD is hypothesized to...
