Specificity Evaluation of a Polyprotein-Based ELISA Designed for the Detection of Paratuberculosis in Multiple Species. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Paratuberculosis (PTB) is a disease affecting ruminant animals. The etiological agent, Mycobacterium avium subspecies PTB (Map), is a short, Gram‐positive, acid‐fast bacillus. Due to the nature of PTB, diagnosis often occurs at advanced stages of the disease, following the onset of clinical symptoms and prior dissemination of the agent. The specificity

Paratuberculosis [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1994
Paratuberculosis (Johne's disease) is a chronic, wasting, widespread mycobacteriosis of ruminants. It involves extensive mycobacterial shedding, which accounts for the high contagiousness, and ends with a fatal enteritis. Decreases in weight, milk production, and fertility produce severe economic loss.

Viewpoint: The Use of Antimycobacterial (Anti-MAP) Therapies in the Treatment of Active Luminal Crohn's Disease. [PDF]

JGH Open
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]

Vet Rec Open
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.

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

Isothermal inactivation of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in curd simulating the stretching phase in pasta-filata cheese process

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Raw milk and dairy products are usually considered the major sources of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) exposure for humans. During the production process of mozzarella cheese, as well as of other pasta-filata cheeses made with ...

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

Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious Enteritis in Adult Ruminants. [PDF]

, 2018
Infectious enteritis in adult ruminants is often a result of 1 or more viral, bacterial, or parasitic pathogens. Diagnosis of etiologic agents causing enteritis is important when considering herd implications and zoonotic potential of some etiologies ...
