Figure 3From: The long subclinical phase of Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis infections explained without adaptive immunity MAP intermittent shedding dynamics with the villus model. Simulations with the villus model (Equation 2), with parameter values d = 0.04, M u 0 = 10, b = 0.04, R MAP  = 2.5. The parameter R MF  = 0.2 before day 630, between days 810 and 990, and between days 1170–1350, otherwise R MF  = 1.5. This reflects a cow with yearly calving and higher R MF three months before and three months after calving.Back to article page
