Diagnosed as Johne’s disease

Paratuberculosis or Johne‟s disease is a chronic debilitating disease of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis. In dairy cows, paratuberculosis has been associated with production losses such as decreased milk yield, pre-mature culling, reduced carcass value etc. A possible mode of transmission for the ruminant pathogen Mycobacterium avium subsp. Paratuberculosis (MAP) from cattle to humans is via milk and dairy products.
