General Overview
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is an obligate pathogenic bacterium of the genus Mycobacterium which causes chronic inflammation of the intestine in domestic and wild ruminants as well as other animals, including primates. M. avium subsp.paratuberculosis can live in animals for years without necessarily causing clinical disease. Infection is widespread in domestic livestock in Europe and North America but can occur elsewhere. [1]
Summary Data
O’Brien et al.(1976) exposed three groups of newly weaned 4-month-old red deer orally with M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis Bovine strain and necropsy was conducted 44 weeks post inoculation to determine the infection rate.[2]
Brotherston et al. (1976) inoculated South Country Cheviots at the age of three weeks orally with M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis IOI strain which was originally recovered from a clinical case of the disease in a sheep and VB/4 strain from an affected cow.[3] The necropsy was done 1-9 months post inoculation.
Recommended Model
Experiment number 262 model is the recommended model. The ID50 of the model has lower value than the other model.
