Lawsonia intracellularis infection and proliferative enteropathy in foals [PDF]
Veterinary Microbiology, 2013 Equine proliferative enteropathy (EPE) is a disease of foals caused by the obligate intracellular organism Lawsonia intracellularis. This organism is unique in that it causes proliferation of infected enterocytes, resulting in thickening of the intestinal epithelium, most often the small intestine.

Immunopathogenesis of Experimentally Induced Proliferative Enteropathy in Pigs [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 2003 To characterize the immune response associated with Lawsonia intracellularis infection, twenty-eight, 7-week-old pigs were dosed orally with a pure culture of L. intracellularis. Animals were killed 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 days postinfection. Light microscopic studies were undertaken to immunophenotype the immunologic response using specific ...
