| Summary: | During the 2<sup>nd</sup> week post inoculation of thirteen rabbits with <em>Mycobacterium bovis</em> tuberculosis lesions appeared in the lungs, liver, spleen, kidney, mediastinal and hepatic lymph nodes and in the omentum with an equal distribution in these organs. During the 4<sup>th</sup> week post inoculation, these tuberculosis lesions increased in size to become well developed granulomas with caseated centers. These granulomas persisted to the 6<sup>th</sup>, 8<sup>th</sup> and 10<sup>th</sup> weeks post inoculation and became more encapsulated later on. Three rabbits died during the 7<sup>th</sup> week post inoculation due to generalized tuberculosis. |
