To investigate the population genetic of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) in Iran, Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Units (MIRUs) and Multi Locus Short Sequence Repeat (MLSSR) system were employed. Numerous genotypes by MIRU (N = 11) and MLSSR (N = 9) methods bearing discriminatory indices of 0.
