Effect of heat-inactivated Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) vaccine on the lesions and immunopathology developed in target tissues of naturally MAP-infected goats

Investigation published in Veterinary Microbiology

October 1st, 2022

Paratuberculosis (PTB) is a disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), which affects a broad range of hosts, including domestic and wild animals. PTB is a chronic granulomatous enteritis and lymphadenitis that compromises animal welfare and causes economic losses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a commercial heat-inactivated MAP vaccine on lesions and immunopathology developed in the target tissues of goats naturally infected with MAP. Lesions compatible with PTB in the intestine and regional lymph nodes (LNs), as well as local immune response to MAP, were evaluated and compared in Gudair®-vaccinated (n = 14) and unvaccinated (n = 11) goats from a MAP-infected farm. The percentage of animals with multifocal granulomatous lesions in the jejunal (p = 0.05) and ileocecal (p = 0.02) LNs was higher in unvaccinated animals, while a lesion score reduction of 50% was found in the LNs of vaccinated animals. Unvaccinated animals showed increased numbers and wider distribution of macrophages (MΦs, CD68 +) in histiocytic infiltrate (p = 0.0003), associated with increased numbers of mycobacteria. Increased inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression was also reported in these animals, while M2 MΦs (CD163 +) were scarce in both groups. Vaccinated animals showed an increase in CD3 + lymphocytes, although differences in interferon gamma (IFNγ) were negligible. These results support the hypothesis that heat-inactivated MAP vaccination could reduce the severity of PTB lesions and mycobacterial load in target tissues in vaccinated adult goats
