Viewpoint: The Use of Antimycobacterial (Anti-MAP) Therapies in the Treatment of Active Luminal Crohn's Disease. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) as the infectious cause of Crohn's disease and the use of antimycobacterial (anti‐MAP) therapies in its treatment remain topics of controversy. A major limitation accepting this view is that irrefutable evidence that MAP causes Crohn's disease—the demonstration that long‐term remission ...

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

Evaluating the Effects of 60°C Heating for 90 Min on Bacterial Pathogen Viability and IgG Concentration in Bovine Colostrum. [PDF]
Heating bovine colostrum at 60°C for up to 90 min eliminates key pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Salmonella Enteritidis, Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium, while preserving IgG levels. This protocol ensures microbial safety and colostrum quality, offering a practical solution for dairy herd health ...
