Figure 4: Shedding of C. jejuni in bursectomised and control birds.

From: B lymphocytes play a limited role in clearance of Campylobacter jejuni from the chicken intestinal tract

Figure 4

Cloacal swabs from individual birds were taken weekly following challenge with C. jejuni M1 at 3 weeks of age (A). Shedding was categorised as heavy, moderate, low or negative (B and C).
