Abstract excerpt
Paratuberculosis is an infectious disease that is not easily amenable to classical control methods such as treatment and vaccination. Experimental animal models suggest that there could be genetic factors responsible for susceptibility or resistance to infection with the causative agent, Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. The aim of this study was to estimate genetic variation in susceptibility to...
