Abstract

Objective:

The aim of this study was to follow within-herd Map infection using an absorbed ELISA and other diagnostic methods.

Methods:

An ovine herd (n=1000), endemically infected by Map, was bleeded twice a year for 3 years. Animals were killed at 5 years of age, and different tissue samples and a final serum sample were taken. Serum samples were tested by ELISA (ID Screen® Paratuberculoisis Indirect, ID VET, France), and tissue samples were examined with other diagnostic techniques.

Results :

The poster will present and analyse the results in detail, allowing a better understanding of Map serology in ovine herds.
