Understanding pathogenesis during progressive stages of infection by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) and finding suitable methods for its diagnosis are key to the control of Johne's disease in animals. Paratuberculosis was experimentally produced in 20 crossbred lambs by oral administration of MAP to study the sequential development of lesions between 10 and 330 days postinfection and to assess commonly used diagnostic methods such as bacterial culture, lymphocyte stimulation test (LST), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) during progressive stages of infection. Histologic lesions were classified into four grades from grade 1 (least severe) to grade 4 (most severe) on the basis of location of granulomatous lesions in different regions and layers of intestines, their association with intestinal lymphoid tissues, pattern and distribution of lesions, types of cellular infiltration, and presence of acid-fast bacilli. It is evident that infection first establishes in lymphoid tissues of the small intestine, possibly at multiple sites, producing segmental lesions and from there spreads to lamina propria and local lymph nodes. Wide variability in the histologic lesions in relation to postinfection periods and initial tropism of MAP to the intestinal lymphoid tissues (Peyer's patches) suggests a differential susceptibility of young animals, possibly because of compositional phenotypic variation of Peyer's patches influencing subsequent course of infection. Histopathology was found to be a better indicator of paratuberculous infection than bacteriology in sheep. The LST (reflecting the cellular immune response) and ELISA (reflecting the humoral immune response) had overall sensitivities of 65% (11 of 17) and 42% (8 of 19), respectively, in sheep with different types of pathology but when employed together could detect about 88% of infected animals.
