Additional Titles:
Section Chief of Large Animal Surgery
Dr. Fecteau is a Professor of Farm Animal Medicine and Surgery in the Department of Clinical Studies-New Bolton Center, University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Fecteau obtained her veterinary degree from the Université de Montréal, and following graduation, she completed a large animal rotating internship and a one-year lectureship in the bovine field service of the same institution. Dr. Fecteau then completed a residency in Large Animal Internal Medicine at the University of California-Davis, from which she holds diplomate status. In 2004, Dr. Fecteau joined the Faculty at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine as a clinician-scientist and farm animal specialist. Dr. Fecteau’s research interests are centered on the study of paratuberculosis in cattle and other ruminants. With her collaborators at PennVet and at Penn Medicine, she has also investigated the disease similarities and possible links between Johne’s disease and Crohn’s disease.

My research is centered around the pathophysiology and prevention of paratuberculosis (Johne’s disease) in cattle and other ruminants. I am interested in the antimycobacterial efficacy of gallium and other pharmaceuticals against Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), and the chemoprophylaxis of gallium against MAP infection in neonatal calves. I am also interested in the effect/relationship of MAP infection on the intestinal microbiome of infected cattle.
