Seroprevalence study of paratuberculosis: Johne's disease, a neglected infection in dairy herds in Apulia (southern Italy) [PDF]

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Introduction Paratuberculosis (PTB) is a disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). In Italy, voluntary PTB control plans have been implemented; nonetheless, so far, data on the prevalence of PTB in dairy herds are fragmented and incomplete, especially in the south of the country.

Principles of control of Johne's Disease in the dairy herd [PDF]

, 2014
Johne's disease, caused by infection with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is a chronic, debilitating disease of ruminants. In cattle the classic clinical signs are profuse diarrhoea and wasting.

Relative importance of herd-level risk factors for probability of infection with paratuberculosis in Irish dairy herds [PDF]

, 2017
Control of paratuberculosis is challenging due to the relatively poor performance of diagnostic tests, a prolonged incubation period, and protracted environmental survival.

The Relationship Between Immunopathology and Body Condition of Mixed‐Age Ewes

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
Ill thrift in ewes, characterised by less than desirable body condition, is a multifactorial condition often attributed to nutritional deficits, though immunopathological factors may also play a role. This study investigated associations between body condition scores (BCS) and immunopathological states in 120 mixed‐age ewes grazing pasture over 4 ...

Protection efficacy of Argentinian isolates of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis with different genotypes and virulence in a murine model [PDF]

, 2018
Paratuberculosis is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map). The disease causes economic losses and, therefore, it is imperative to follow proper control strategies, which should include an effective vaccine. Several

Development of a Fully Automated, High‐Throughput Molecular Assay for Detection of Rat Hepatitis E Virus in Routine Diagnostics

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Recently, cases of human infection with rat hepatitis E virus (ratHEV, Rocahepevirus ratti) have been reported worldwide. Due to the significant genetic differences between ratHEV and human HEV genotypes 1–4 (Paslahepevirus balayani), current HEV diagnostic assays are unable to detect ratHEV.

No difference in paratuberculosis seroprevalence between organic and conventional dairy herds in the Netherlands [PDF]

, 2005
Purpose. Paratuberculosis or Johne’s disease in cattle is considered to play a role in the pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease in humans. Whether organic production may influence the prevalence of paratuberculosis in dairy herds was not known until now and ...

Mycobacteriophage Mcgavigan Uses Noncanonical Bxb1‐Like Repressor for Heterotypic Superinfection Immunity

Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Mycobacteriophage Mcgavigan could be a promising candidate for use as a preventative agent against infections with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Bioinformatic analysis of the Mcgavigan genome revealed the presence of an operon containing a “Bxb1‐like” repressor.

An Update on Bioactive Lipids: Fatty Acid Esters of Hydroxy Fatty Acids in Food

Food Chemistry International, Volume 1, Issue 4, Page 366-374, December 2025.
This review focused on the dietary sources, bioavailability, and health benefits of fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs), emphasizing their potential as functional foods. Understanding FAHFAs in food can help develop targeted functional foods and explore their role in human health, including antidiabetic and anti‐inflammatory effects ...
