Project description:The objective of this work is to identify Ileum gene expression during the infection of pigs by the pathogen Lawsonia intracellularis
Project description:Lawsonia intracellularis causes porcine proliferative enteropathy. This is an enteric disease characterized by thickening of the wall of the ileum that leads to decreased growth and diarrhea of animals. In this study, we investigated the host response to L. intracellularis infection by performing transcriptomic and pathway analysis of intestinal tissue in groups of infected and non-infected animals at 14, 21 and 28 days post challenge.
