Evaluation of a Paratuberculosis Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay with Microscopic Correlation
… subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) and precedes Johne's disease, a chronic enteric disorder in ruminants caused by MAP infection. Necropsy with histopathology provides definitive diagnosis of Johne's disease and positive culture of MAP from tissues provides definitive diagnosis of …

A Hybrid Modeling Approach to Assess the Efficacy of Control Measures on Paratuberculosis on U.S. Dairy Farms
Paratuberculosis, also known as Johne's disease or JD, is a chronic contagious infection, caused by Mycobaterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP). This fatal disease is incurable and causes considerable economic losses to the industry. Each year, the U.S. dairy industry loses over 200 million dollars …

Establishment of a Long Term Cell Culture Model for Testing Anti-Infectives against Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis
… growing bacterium that is the causative agent of Johne's disease (JD) in ruminants and has long been suggested to be associated with complications of Crohn's disease (CD) in humans. Although there is no direct evidence that MAP is the primary etiological agent for CD, most CD patients are found to …

Survival Of Mycobacterium Avium Subspecies Paratuberculosis In The Pol
… where it is the known etiological agent of johne's disease in ruminants and implicated in the etiology of crohn's disease in humans. Map's ability to survive within macrophages enables it to disseminate throughout the rest of the host, possibly infecting other circulating blood leukocytes. …

Molecular Typing Of Mycobacterial Isolates Cultured From The Tissue Of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's Disease) Patients
… etiology and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn's Disease (CD), has been investigated. The fastidious characteristics and cross reactivity of MAP with other members in Mycobacteria have produced significant challenges in their detection and identification. In this …

Possible Use Of P20 Antigen In Serodiagnosis Of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Crohn's disease (CD) is an idiopathic, chronic, relapsing inflammatory disorder, which is most commonly involved terminal ileum and colon. The incidence and prevalence of CD has dramatically increased during the last 50 years; however, the etiology and mechanism of this disorder remain unveiled. …

Survival strategies of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in a variety of microenvironments.
… that encompass a wide-range of host tropisms and diseases. Mycobacteria can be divided into two complexes: the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). The MAC is comprised of M. avium subsp. avium (M. avium), MAP, M. intracellulare and M. avium subsp. …
