Herthnek, D. 2006. Detection and confirmation of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in clinical samples. Licentiate thesis. ISSN 1653-8315, ISBN 91-576-7167-2 Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of the serious disease paratuberculosis in ruminants. It is a chronic enteric disease that causes considerable economic losses worldwide. Paratuberculosis l...

The aim of this study was to use PARACHEK Johne's Absorbed EIA-CSL, gamma interferon test IFN BOVIGAM-CSL , Mycobacterial Growth Indicator Tube MGIT, BACTEC 960 BECTON-DICKINSON, PCR with IS900 probe, to diagnose paratuberculosis in sheep from the Argentine North East (ANE) and compare the results with those of the comparative skin testing using bovine and avian PPD (B-PPD and A-PPD), agar gel ...

BACKGROUND Johne's disease is caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) and it is one of the most important diseases in cattle worldwide. Several laboratory tests for Map detection are available; however, these are limited by inadequate sensitivity and specificity when used in subclinically infected populations. To identify Map shedders in subclinically infected cattle, we use...

Paratuberculosis (PTCB) or Johne's disease (JD) caused by a slow growing acid fast bacillus Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), is an infectious of many species including humans. The responsible for important economic losses to livestock industry worldwide. Although the widespread, it had not been studied in Algerian sheep. In this study we inspected presence infection sheep ...

Bulk tank milk samples from 392 Northern Ireland dairy farms and individual animals (n = 293) on 4 of these were tested by a novel phagomagnetic separation (PhMS)-quantitative (q)PCR assay able to detect quantify viable Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP), demonstrate its potential utility as surveillance tool. Viable MAP detected in 26.5% the bulk milks, with contamination levels r...

paratuberculosis (john’s disease) is infectious and chronically progressive granulomatous disease which affects domestic and wild ruminants. the causative agent is mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (map), a slow growing mycobactin dependent acid-fast bacillus. we investigated the detection and frequency of map in apparently healthy dromedary and bactrian camels by insertion sequence 900 (is9...
