Use of ELISA to predict high Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis shedding in faeces of infected animals [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Research
Paratuberculosis is a chronic wasting disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). Control in herds relies on detecting infected animals, which are managed based on the level of MAP shedding.

Characterization of Rosculus vilicus sp. nov., a rhizarian amoeba interacting with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Free-living amoebae are described as potential reservoirs for pathogenic bacteria in the environment. It has been hypothesized that this might be the case for Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for paratuberculosis. In

Genetic Features of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis Strains Circulating in the West of France Deciphered by Whole-Genome Sequencing

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Paratuberculosis is a chronic infection of the intestine, mainly the ileum, caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in cattle and other ruminants.

Frequency of Mycobacterium avium subsp. Paratuberculosis in milk, meat, ileum, and feces of cattle in Tabriz, Iran [PDF]

Journal of Zoonotic Diseases, 2021
Mycobacterium avium subsp. Paratuberculosis is the causative agent for Johne’s disease, which is a chronic and virulent disease, usually leading to incurable chronic enteritis. The bacterium afflicts domestic and wild ruminants.

Phylogenetic distribution of malonate semialdehyde decarboxylase (MSAD) genes among strains within the genus Mycobacterium: evidence of MSAD gene loss in the evolution of pathogenic mycobacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Despite the great diversity of malonate semialdehyde decarboxylases (MSADs), one of five subgroups of the tautomerase superfamily (TSF) found throughout the biosphere, their distribution among strains within the genus Mycobacterium remains unknown.

Differences in skin test reactions to official and defined antigens in guinea pigs exposed to non-tuberculous and tuberculous bacteria

Scientific Reports, 2023
The single and comparative intradermal tuberculin tests (SITT and CITT) are official in vivo tests for bovine tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis using bovine and avian purified protein derivatives (PPD-B and PPD-A).

Marked Differences in Mucosal Immune Responses Induced in Ileal versus Jejunal Peyer's Patches to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis Secreted Proteins following Targeted Enteric Infection in Young Calves. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
In cattle, Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection is primarily mediated through M cells overlying Peyer's patches (PP) in the ileum. The capacity of M. avium subsp.

Novel single nucleotide polymorphism-based assay for genotyping Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis [PDF]

, 2016
Typing of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis strains presents a challenge, since they are genetically monomorphic and traditional molecular techniques have limited discriminatory power.

Genomic variations associated with attenuation in Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis vaccine strains [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) whole cell vaccines have been widely used tools in the control of Johne's disease in animals despite being unable to provide complete protection. Current vaccine strains derive from stocks
