Non Technical Summary
Animal disease, like Johne's disease, salmonellosis, Leptospirosis and Clostridium spp. cause a great economic loss in the animal industry. Also, some of these diseases can transmit from animals to human or from human to animals. Therefore, a vaccine or a diagnostic technique is need for these diseases. Therefore, our effort will be devoted to develop a vaccine or a diagnostic technique to deal with these diseases.

Goals / Objectives
The goal of our study is to develop a diagnostic test or a vaccine or to understand the pathogenesis of the animal infectious diseases, such as Johne's disease, leptospirosis, Salmonellosis and others.
Project Methods
We will use the molecular biologic, immunologic, biochemical techniques to study the infectious disease of animals, such as leptospirosis, salmonellosis, Johne's disease, Clostridium spp. We will analyze the results using statistical method to determine the results are statistically significant to that of the control groups. We expect to develop a vaccine or a diagnostic test for the animal diseases, such as animal leptospirosis, animal salmonellosis, Johne's disease or Clostridium spp. disease.
