Range of weight development of infected goats.

<p>Average weight development of infected goats together with the highest and lowest weight per measuring point. The arrow marks the time point of infection. Week numbers reflect the time compared to the time point of infection with negative numbers representing weeks prior to infection and positive numbers representing weeks after infection.</p

Comparison of the average of total body weight of infected goats (red columns) and uninfected goats (blue columns) of selected weeks.

<p>Above each column pair is the p-value corresponding to the comparison. The time point of infection is marked with an arrow. Error bars represent the standard error for each time point.</p

Comparison of average weight gain for four-week intervals of infected goats (red columns) versus uninfected goats (blue columns).

<p>There are one interval prior infection, one interval around infection, and six intervals after infection. Above each column pair is the p-value corresponding to the comparison. The infection occurred during the second time interval. Error bars represent the standard error for each time point.</p

Range of weight development of uninfected goats.

<p>Average weight development of uninfected goats together with the highest and lowest weight per measuring point. The arrow marks the time point of infection. Week numbers reflect the time compared to the time point of infection with negative numbers representing weeks prior to infection and positive numbers representing weeks after infection.</p

Average weight development of infected and uninfected goats.

<p>Development of the average total body weight of goats experimentally infected with <i>Mycobacterium avium</i> subsp. <i>paratuberculosis</i> (red squares/lines) in comparison with the average total body weight development of uninfected goats (blue squares/lines). The arrow marks the time point of infection. Week numbers reflect the time compared to the time point of infection with negative numbers representing weeks prior to infection and positive numbers representing weeks after infection.</p
