Four sheep shown are those with the same MLVA community type present on ≥2 feet at the same time point as described in Results. Right of panel: 3*** = sheep identification, FR present: bar shows when footrot present, MLVA = MLVA profile. Key shows colour coding for MLVA profiles: Unknown = positive for D. nodosus but no MLVA variants identified. Dn negative = sample negative for D. nodosus.
