TL;DR: The functional role of B lymphocytes in response to C. jejuni in the chicken is shown through depletion of the B lymphocyte population (bursectomy) followed by challenge and antibody is ineffective in clearing C.Jejuni from the ceca within the production lifetime of chickens, although is involved in clearance from the small intestine and longer-term clearance fromThe ceca.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of chicken and insect infection models to assess the virulence of African Salmonella Typhimurium ST313.

TL;DR: These three infection models do not reproduce the characteristics of the systemic disease caused by S. Typhimurium ST313 in humans, according to a comprehensive analysis of all the chicken infection experiments.

Campylobacter jejuni transmission and colonisation in broiler chickens is inhibited by Faecal Microbiota Transplantation
TL;DR: It is shown that transfer of a whole mature microbiome to newly-hatched chicks reduces transmission and colonisation of C.jejuni and offers a way to identify key taxa or consortia that are effective in reducing C. Jejuni colonisation and improving broiler gut health.
