: All animal experiments were approved by the University of Glasgow Ethical Review Committee and performed in accordance with the home office guidelines, UK Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act, 1986 and EU directive 2010/63/EU. All experiments were conducted under SAPO regulations and UK Home Office project licence number PC8C3B25C to Dr. Jean Rodger. The in vivo work related to the single cell and spatial transcriptomic experiments were conducted at 25- and 45-days post-infection (dpi) and correlated with increased clinical scores and procedural severity. Subsequent in vivo experiments for experimental validation (flow cytometry and imaging) were terminated earlier in line with ethical recommendations from the veterinary team at the University of Glasgow.
