Estimated parameters.

Estimated parameters through fitting the cell compartmental model to the calf experimental data. Where there is a dash (-) it means the parameter was not fixed at its baseline values. For each estimated parameter a 95% credible intervals (CIs) is given. Priors for these parameters are given as parameter ranges in Table 2. During model fitting, all models initial conditions were set at: uninfected macrophages M(0) = 500.0, infected macrophages Im (0) = 0.0, free bacteria B(0) = 1.0, naïve T cells Th0(0) = 0.1). For model fitting where these initial conditions were estimated see S3 Fig.
