Prevalence ofMycobacterium aviumin Slaughter Pigs in The Netherlands and Comparison of IS1245Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Patterns of Porcine and Human Isolates [PDF]
ABSTRACTA significant increase in the incidence of caseous lesions in the lymph nodes of slaughter pigs prompted a large-scale investigation in five slaughterhouses in The Netherlands. In total, 158,763 pigs from 2,899 groups underwent gross examination.

Comparison of variable-number tandem-repeat markers typing and IS1245 restriction fragment length polymorphism fingerprinting of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis from human and porcine origins. [PDF]
Animal mycobacterioses are regarded as a potential zoonotic risk and cause economical losses world wide. M. avium subsp. hominissuis is a slow-growing subspecies found in mycobacterial infected humans and pigs and therefore rapid and discriminatory typing methods are needed for epidemiological studies. The genetic similarity of M.

Accuracy assessment and screening of a dairy herd with paratuberculosis by three different ELISAs [PDF]
Although the culture of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosisis is the gold standard for the diagnosis of paratuberculosis, this bacterium is difficult to grow. In contrast, serological tests like ELISAs are inexpensive, rapid, and easy to perform.

Molecular features ofMycobacterium aviumhuman isolates carrying a single copy of IS1245and IS1311per genome [PDF]
Human clinical isolates of the Mycobacterium avium complex, from hospitals in Bogotá, were studied using a wide range of molecular tests including PCR restriction-enzyme analysis (PRA) of the hsp65 gene. Up to 21 of the isolates were identified as M. avium PRA variant III (Mav III), a variant obtained only from isolates on the American continent.
