| short communication: passive shedding of mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis in commercial dairy goats in brazil. | goat farming is a low-cost alternative to dairy production in developing countries. in brazil, goat production has increased in recent years due in part to the implementation of programs encouraging this activity. mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (map) is the causative agent of paratuberculosis, a disease that causes chronic granulomatous enteritis in ruminants, but map transmission dynamics are still poorly understood in goats. in a previously published study of our research group, 10 ... | 2017 | 28755949 |
| short communication: recovery of viable mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis from retail pasteurized whole milk in brazil. | mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (map) is the etiological agent of paratuberculosis, a chronic granulomatous enteritis that affects all ruminants worldwide. some researchers have indicated a possible role of map in crohn's disease. despite extensive research and large and important advances in the past few decades, the etiology of crohn's disease remains indefinite. the most probable transmission route of map from animals to humans is milk and dairy products. mycobacterium avium ssp. pa ... | 2012 | 23021748 |
| short communication: detection of mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis by polymerase chain reaction in bovine milk in brazil. | mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (map) is the causative agent of paratuberculosis, or johne's disease, a chronic granulomatous enteritis that affects all ruminants worldwide. since the isolation of map from intestinal tissue of human patients bearing crohn's disease, there has been a debate on the possibility of this agent playing a role in the etiology of crohn's disease. milk could be the potential vehicle for transmission to humans. mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis has alrea ... | 2009 | 19841202 |
