17
Q

pathogenesis of m. bovis

A

Infection via respiratory and intestinal tracts→local multiplication extracellular and intracellular due to resistance to
phagocytic killings→infected host cell and bacteria reach local lymph nodes→thoracic duct→general
dissemination→macrophage activation kills some bacteria→macrophage aggregation contribute to tubercle formation
which may be encompass by fibrous layer→ lymphatic spread is retarded but continuous extension occurs via erosion of
bronchi, blood vessels or viscera to new area
