Bayesian Estimation of True Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors for Leptospira spp. Among Slaughterhouse Workers and Slaughtered Cattle in the Bahr El Ghazal Region of South Sudan

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Leptospirosis is a major but under‐reported zoonotic disease, and epidemiological data from South Sudan remain limited. This study estimated the true prevalence of Leptospira spp. exposure and identified associated risk factors among slaughterhouse workers and slaughtered cattle in Western Bahr El Ghazal. Methods A cross‐sectional

Specific immunoassays confirm association of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis with type-1 but not type-2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]

, 2009
Background Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is a versatile pathogen with a broad host range. Its association with type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has been recently proposed.

Paratuberculosis: an update [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2007
Paratuberculosis is a chronic enteritis that affects ruminants and is caused by Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (Map). The disease is worldwide spread and causes important economic losses. In Brazil, the bacillus was isolated in the south and northeast regions of the country and in Rio de Janeiro, but there are no enough epidemiological studies ...

Serial and Parallel Testing Strategies for Johne's Disease: Effects on Milk Production Traits and Milk Income on New Zealand Dairy Cattle

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,

Herd-level prevalence of selected endemic infectious diseases of dairy cows in Great Britain [PDF]

, 2017
To implement appropriate and effective disease control programs at the national level, up-to-date and unbiased information on disease frequency is needed. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of selected endemic infectious diseases in the

Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Macrophages During Mycobacterium avium Versus Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

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 ...

Microbial‐Immune Interplay in CNS Autoimmune Diseases: Lessons from Animal Models and Clinical Studies

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 2, February 2026.
Mechanism of action of the intestinal microbiota on CNS autoimmune diseases. Environmental factors shape gut microbiota composition; dysbiosis alters microbial metabolites and antigenic signals. These modulate innate and adaptive immunity, affect barrier integrity, and influence CNS‐resident cells such as microglia and astrocytes, contributing to ...

Description of a novel adhesin of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis [PDF]

, 2014
The binding and ingestion of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) by host cells are fibronectin (FN) dependent. In several species of mycobacteria, a specific family of proteins allows the attachment and internalization of these bacteria by ...
