(A) Representation of proteomics results showing that S. scrofa Hemoglobin proteins F1RII7, F1RII5 and P01965 were under-represented in M. bovis-infected adult wild boar when compared to uninfected animals. (B) Hemoglobin protein levels were determined by ELISA in serum from individual wild boar (young TB-, N = 4; young TB+, N = 7; adult TB-, N = 4; adult TB+, N = 5; adult TB++, N = 6). Optical density values were converted to g/dl Hemoglobin using the ELISA standard curve, represented as average + S.D. and compared between groups by a multivariate comparison between the groups using the one-way ANOVA test followed by one-tailed Student’s t-test with Bonferroni correction for samples with unequal variance (p = 0.05).
