Immunological and Molecular Characterization of Susceptibility in Relationship to Bacterial Strain Differences inMycobacterium aviumsubsp.paratuberculosisInfection in the Red Deer (Cervus elaphus)

Abstract excerpt

Johne's disease (JD) infection, caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, represents a major disease problem in farmed ruminants. Although JD has been well characterized in cattle and sheep, little is known of the infection dynamics or immunological response in deer. In this study, typing of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis isolates from intestinal lymphatic tissues from 74 JD-infected animals showed...
