Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) were exposed to Mycobacterium paratuberculosis by intraperitoneal and oral routes. Fourteen weeks after exposure, the gerbils were necropsied and tissues were cultured and examined microscopically. Results of the study showed that gerbils can be infected with M paratuberculosis but are not suitable for studies of paratuberculosis.
将蒙古沙鼠（长爪沙鼠）通过腹腔内和口服途径暴露于副结核分枝杆菌。暴露14周后，对沙鼠进行尸检，并对组织进行培养和显微镜检查。研究结果表明，沙鼠可感染副结核分枝杆菌，但不适合用于副结核病研究。
