The dynamics of Salmonella colonization in cattle and their peripheral lymph nodes

Objective

1) Investigate Salmonella transmission paths to cattle lymph nodes and assess bacterial replication within these nodes. Determine if immune responses are initiated following Salmonella uptake by the nodes; and 2) Fine-tune our experimental model of inoculation as a cost-effective method for testing of the effects of novel pre-harvest interventions with a minimal number of animals.
