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
