Paratuberculosis (Johne‟s disease) is widely distributed throughout the world and is caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) (Baumgartner and Johnannes, 2008). The disease mainly affects domestic and wild ruminants (Chiodini et al., 1984) but MAP can also be found in numerous monogastric animals (Klee, 2002). Johne‟s disease (JD) characterized by emaciation, progressive ...

More than a century ago, Johne and Frothingham discovered Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) in cattle, the causative agent of Johne`s Disease (Paratuberculosis), a chronic, debilitating intestinal infection. Johne`s Disease is found most often among domestic and wild ruminants but also has been reported in non-ruminants (1, 15). What`s more, the suggestion that MAP may play ...

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), the causative agent of Johne disease in ruminants, has been incriminated as the cause of Crohn disease in humans. We report the first case of human infection with MAP in a patient with HIV; infection was confirmed by obtaining isolates from several different specimen types.

Using $\mu$-bubbles, we prove that for $3 \le n 7$, the connected sum of a Schoen-Yau-Schick $n$-manifold with an arbitrary manifold does not admit complete metric positive scalar curvature. When either 5$, $1 m n-1$ or $6 $m \in \{1, n-2, n-1\}$, also show $(M^{n-m}\times \mathbb{T}^m) \# X^n$ where $X$ is $m$-intermediate Here curvature new notion introduced by Brendle, Hirsch and Johne inter...

We point out that measurements of longitudinal Λ polarization in the target fragmentation region of deep–inelastic ν N and μN or eN scattering may test dynamical mechanisms invoked to explain the proton spin puzzle. A previously-proposed model for polarized s̄s pairs in the proton wave function reproduces successfully the negative Λ polarization found in the WA59 ν̄ N experiment, and makes predic...
