This article is identical to Fusobacterium necrophorum. I would like to merge them, but I'm not sure which would be the preferred article to keep. There is no reason to keep both of these up, as it's misleading. Someone with more experience than I should handle this. Thanks! WiiAlbanyGirl 16:52, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no biologist, but this article, Fusobacterium, appears to be about the genus, while Fusobacterium necrophorum is about a particular species. So I would say they're not identical and I see no harm in keeping both separate. However the small article sizes could merit a merge with the species as a subsection of the genus, if you feel that would improve the information. You may want to visit WP:MERGE.

I actually just put this on the Wiki Help Desk, and was encouraged to merge the articles, as long as I added the species section. I also added a species section for F. Nucleatum, because there was no solitary article on the organism, and not much information exists on it anyway. Feel free to add to this! WiiAlbanyGirl 18:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thrush in Horses??

It says in the article, that Fusobacterium necrophorum is also responsible for the foot disease thrush in horses. However, when you follow the link, there does not appear to be such a disease. Could someone please correct this? 85.178.14.152 (talk) 11:59, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fusobacterium is toxic for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

I thought this article to be of interest. Right now it is a single study & thus a primary source. Please be on the lookout for appearances in literature reviews or systematic reviews in reliable, third-party, published secondary sources. The second citation is for a lay summary of the research study.
