Sci Rep . 2017 Apr; 7:46695. PMID: 28436433
Multibacillary and paucibacillary paratuberculosis are both caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis. Multibacillary lesions are composed largely of infected epithelioid macrophages and paucibacillary lesions contain T cells but few bacteria....

Nicol L, Wilkie H, Gossner A, Watkins C, Dalziel R, Hopkins J
Vet Res . 2016 Aug; 47(1):83. PMID: 27530627
Two different forms of clinical paratuberculosis in sheep are recognised, related to the level of bacterial colonization. Paucibacillary lesions are largely composed of lymphocytes with few bacteria, and multibacillary pathology...

Nicol L, Gossner A, Watkins C, Chianini F, Dalziel R, Hopkins J
Vet Res . 2016 Feb; 47:27. PMID: 26861902
The immunopathology of paucibacillary and multibacillary sheep paratuberculosis is characterized by inflammatory T cell and macrophage responses respectively. IL-23 and IL-25 are key to the development of these responses by...
