dc.description.abstract |
Johne’s disease was characterized as a
significant disease in cattle before the start of
the 20th century. The disease causes a chronic
wasting away and non-responsive diarrhea,
coupled with a long incubation period and difficulty
in diagnosis until late in the course of
disease. As a result, it has become a costly
aggravation to dairy producers over the years.
Of even greater concern, however, is the more
recent incrimination of the causative agent,
Mycobacterium avium subspecies pseudotuberculosis
(MAP), as a possible cause of
Crohn’s disease in humans. Because MAP is
present in milk of cows with advanced Johne’s
disease, and occasionally survives pasteurization,
the dairy industry must work proactively
to control this disease and reduce the potential
for any associated human health risks. |
