The role of diagnostic tests in battling paratuberculosis
Johne's disease, also known as paratuberculosis, is a global health issue affecting ruminants and is a result of an infection with Mycobacterium avium spp. paratuberculosis (MAP). Primarily affecting cattle, sheep, and goats, this disease can lead to severe production constraints and substantial economic losses within livestock populations due to its lengthy incubation period, which makes diagnosis challenging. By offering accurate and reliable diagnostic solutions, we aim to assist producers, veterinarians, and researchers in effectively managing and controlling Johne's Disease outbreaks.
The key to controlling the disease lies in the early detection of subclinical disease in animals. These animals can excrete the organism over extended periods, posing an infection risk to the rest of the herd. Utilizing a combination of diagnostic methods such as ELISA and real-time PCR tests can aid in identifying and isolating these "shedders" at an earlier stage, thereby mitigating the risk of infection to other healthy animals in the herd.
Our diagnostic solutions offer reliable and accurate results, providing an essential tool in the battle against paratuberculosis.
