Abstract
The footrot eradication scheme in Western Australia has resulted in a low prevalence of severe footrot.
To appreciate the achievement, we need to understand what exactly is being eradicated. 'S' strains of Dichelorbacter nodosus, the infectious bacterium of footrot, are the target of footrot eradication. Laurie Depiazzi examines the basis for eradicating 'S' strains.
