<b>Im</b><b>pact of Pre-exposure to Deoxynivalenol on the Response of Porcine Intestinal Epithelial Cells and Pigs to Enterotoxigenic E</b><b><i>. coli </i></b><b>and LPS</b>

<p dir="ltr">Deoxynivalenol is a common food-borne mycotoxin contaminating commercial swine diets. Enterotoxigenic <i>E. coli</i> is a leading cause of post-weaning diarrhea. While the independent effects of these stressors are well-characterized, there is little research considering their combination. The objective of this thesis was to explore the effect of pre-exposure to deoxynivalenol on the response of IPEC-J2 cells and nursery pigs to <i>E. coli</i> and LPS, respectively.</p>
