Reduced to near extinction in the late 1800s, a number of wood bison populations (Bison bison athabascae) have been re-established through reintroduction initiatives. Although an invaluable tool for conservation, translocation of animals can spread infectious agents to new areas or expose animals to pathogens in their new environment. Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, a bacterium tha...
The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is the diagnostic test most commonly used in efforts to control paratuberculosis in domestic ruminants. However, commercial ELISAs have not been validated for detecting antibodies against Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in wild animals. In this study, we compared the sensitivities and specificities of five ELISAs using individual serum s...
Milk and supramammary lymph node samples were obtained from asymptomatic cows infected with Mycobacterium paratuberculosis at the time of slaughter. Of 81 supramammary lymph node samples, 22 (27%) were culture positive for M. paratuberculosis. Of 77 milk samples, 9 (11.6%) were culture positive. The prevalence of supramammary lymph node or milk infection was highest with heavy fecal shedding of...
Bovine Paratuberculosis is a chronic disease primarily of the gastrointestinal tract. The disease is caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. Paratuberculosis (MAP). Paratuberculosis is a disease of high economic importance around the globe. The present study was carried out to investigate the epidemiology and pathology of paratuberculosis in cattle and buffaloes at two cattle/buffalo colonies of F...
In this study, we examined the effects of recombinant bovine gamma interferon (rIFN-gamma) and nitric oxide (NO) on the interaction of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis with bovine monocytes. Monocytes pretreated with rIFN-gamma exhibited slightly increased phagocytosis of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis and modest inhibition of the intracellular growth of this microorganism. The number of viab...
BACKGROUND Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis causes systemic infection and chronic intestinal inflammation in many species including primates. Humans are exposed through milk and from sources of environmental contamination. Hitherto, the only vaccines available against Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis have been limited to veterinary use and comprised attenuated or k...
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis causes Johne's disease, an enteric infection in cattle and other ruminants, greatly afflicting the dairy industry worldwide. Once inside the cell, M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis is known to survive harsh microenvironments, especially those inside activated macrophages. To improve our understanding of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis pathogenesis, we...
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is a zoonotic pathogen whose association with Crohn's disease in humans is under scrutiny. The objective of this work was to investigate its association with other chronic diseases such as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), where the involvement of a persistent pathogen such as M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis could be the trigger. For this purpose, 59 ...
Johne's disease is a condition that refers to chronic granulomatous enteritis in ruminants. It is believed that survival and replication of Mycobacterium (M.) paratuberculosis in mononuclear phagocytes plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Johne's disease. However, it is not clear how M. paratuberculosis survives for long time periods in mononuclear phagocytes, nor is it clear which fa...
The influence of treatment temperature and pulsed electric fields (PEF) on the viability of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis cells suspended in 0.1% (wt/vol) peptone water and in sterilized cow's milk was assessed by direct viable counts and by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). PEF treatment at 50 degrees C (2,500 pulses at 30 kV/cm) reduced the level of viable M. paratuberculosis cells by ...
