Abstract

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (Map) is the cause of Johne's disease, a chronic enteritis of cattle. A significant knowledge gap is how persistence of Map within the intestinal tract after infection contributes to progression of disease. To address this, we exposed calves to Map by direct ileocecal Peyer's patch injection. Our objective was to characterize the persistence of Map in tissues, associated intestinal lesions, fecal Map shedding, and serum antibody responses, through the first 28-weeks post-inoculation (wpi). Previous work using this model showed 100% rate of Map infection in intestine and lymph node by 12 wpi. We hypothesized that direct inoculation of Map into the distal small intestine would induce intestinal Map infection with local persistence and progression towards clinical disease. However, our data show decreased persistence of Map in the distal small intestine and draining lymph nodes. We identified Map in multiple sections of distal ileum and draining lymph node of all calves at 4 and 12 wpi, but then we observed reduced Map in distal ileum at 20 wpi, and by 28 wpi we found that 50% of animals had no detectable Map in intestine or the lymph node. This provides evidence of resilience to Map infection following direct intestinal Map inoculation. Further work examining the immune responses and host-pathogen interactions associated with this infection model are needed to help elicit the mechanisms underlying resilience to Map infection.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 August 2018.
All research outputs
#6,435,662
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Veterinary Research
#302
of 1,337 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#102,422
of 340,113 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Veterinary Research
#10
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,337 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 340,113 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
