An optimized swine dysentery murine model to characterize shedding and clinical disease associated with “Brachyspira hampsonii ” infection
2017
Background
The development of a mouse model as an in vivo pathogenicity screening tool for Brachyspira spp. has advanced the study of these economically important pathogens in recent years. However, none of the murine models published to date have been used to characterize the clinical signs of disease in mice, instead focusing on pathology following oral inoculation with various Brachyspira spp. The experiments described herein explore modifications of published models to characterize faecal consistency, faecal shedding and pathology in mice challenged with “Brachyspira hampsonii” clade II (Bhamp).
