DISTRIBUTION OF MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM SUBSPECIES PARATUBERCULOSIS IN THE LOWER FLORIDA KEYS [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2008 Johne's disease, a fatal and contagious gastrointestinal infection caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map), was first diagnosed in an endangered Florida Key deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium) in 1996 and later in six additional Key deer deaths from 1998 to 2004.

Veterinary Record, Volume 198, Issue 12, Page e533-e542, 13–27 June 2026.Abstract Background Bovine tuberculosis (TB) threatens cattle farming in England. Supplementing tuberculin skin testing with the interferon‐gamma blood test during TB incident (breakdown) management can enhance diagnostic sensitivity. We aimed to identify herds at greater risk of recurrence depending on their recent TB history to inform targeted ...

The Mycobacterium avium Subspecies Paratuberculosis Dilemma
Biology and Medicine, 2015 The purpose of this paper is to present and update the longitudinal perspective of the Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis dilemma as initially stated in Infectious Diseases Incorporated’s 2012 White Paper. In both wild and domestic herbivores, Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) produces chronic granulomatous enteritis ...

Survival of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis in retail pasteurised milk [PDF]
Food Microbiology, 2018 A survey of retail purchased semi-skimmed pasteurised milk (n = 368) for Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) was conducted between May 2014 and June 2015 across the midlands of England using the Phage-PCR assay. Overall, 10.3% of the total samples collected contained viable MAP cells, confirming that pasteurisation is not capable of ...

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.The suboptimal accuracy of current diagnostic tests necessitates alternative testing strategies to improve the detection of Johne's disease. We studied parallel and serial testing strategies to quantify the association between milk production and Johne's disease status. For this, two commercial Johne's disease Enzyme‐Linked Immunosorbent Assay, ELISAs,

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 3, Page 185-202, March 2026.Human macrophage transcriptomic responses to Mycobacterium avium (Mav), a major cause of nontuberculous lung disease, were compared to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Both infections activated overlapping immune pathways, including cytokine signaling and GPCRs involved in lipid metabolism, while phospholipases were more strongly regulated by Mav and ...

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 ...
