A Hypothesis for Explaining the Geographical Distribution of Crohn’s Disease
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1996 The etiology of Crohn’s disease (CD) remains unknown, although there is epidemiological evidence supporting an environmental influence. Recent molecular techniques, including polymerase chain reaction, have renewed interest in a possible etiological role

Transmission of Paratuberculosis
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1994 The causative organism of paratuberculosis, Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, inhabits the intestinal tract and mesenteric lymph nodes of infected cows. While paratuberculosis has generally been regarded as an enteric infection, there is now evidence that the organism can disseminate to extra-intestinal sites such as uterus, supramammary lymph nodes ...

Immunology, EarlyView.Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is a recognised gastrointestinal disorder. Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is implicated in IBD pathogenesis. Persistent exposure and active infections by MAP may contribute to the unsilencing of human endogenous retroviruses (HERV ...
