FIG. 1.
Response of rabbits infected intracisternally with 5 × 104 CFU of M. bovis Ravenel and monitored for 28 days. (A) Numbers (CFU per milliliter) of M. bovis Ravenel in the CSF. (B) Numbers (CFU per organ) of M. bovis Ravenel in the tissues. (C) WBC density (cells per cubic millimeter) in CSF. (D) TNF concentration (units per milliliter) in CSF and plasma. (E) Severity of signs of disease (clinical score) of infected rabbits. (F) Mortality of infected rabbits. All values are means ± standards errors of the means for the number of animals available for evaluation at each time point.
