Abstract

<jats:p> Johne's disease, caused by infection with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is a chronic, debilitating disease of ruminants. In cattle the classic clinical signs are profuse diarrhoea and wasting. However such cases represent the ‘tip of the iceberg’ and it is estimated that for each clinical case there are 10–25 infected animals in the herd, incurring costs associated with sub-clinical disease and loss of production. This paper describes the diagnosis and strategies to control of Johne's disease in the dairy herd. </jats:p>
