Abstract

Tissue samples from the feet of slaughtered cattle exhibiting different stages of digital dermatitis were sectioned and stained with haematoxylin and eosin and silver staining techniques. Three morphological variationsof spirochaetes were observed, whereas control samples from feet which were marcroscopically negative for digital dermatitis were also negative for spirochaetes.
