Paratuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by subspecies (MAP). Typically, ruminant animals including cattle, buffalo, goats, and sheep are infected with MAP. Animals get infected with MAP in a number of ways, such as by eating or drinking contaminated food or water, or by nursing from an infected mother who may have contaminated teats or directly shed the organism in milk or colostrum.

The factors that determine the appearance of the different pathologic forms associated with bovine paratuberculosis are not fully understood, but new research suggests a critical role of innate immunity. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) trigger the recognition of invading pathogens by innate immune cells and the onset of specific immune responses. The aim of this work was to assess, immunohistochemically, the expression of TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, and TLR9 in intestinal samples of 20 cows showing different types of paratuberculous lesions: uninfected controls, focal lesions, paucibacillary, and multibacillary diffuse forms.

Free-living amoebae (FLA) are described as environmental reservoirs for some bacteria able to resist their phagocytosis. In the environment, the fate of Mycobacterium bovis (Mbo) and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map), responsible for bovine tuberculosis and paratuberculosis respectively, remains poorly understood and is considered potentially problematic in the eradication and control of these diseases.

Paratuberculosis is a debilitating disease of ruminants that causes significant economic loss in both cattle and sheep. Early detection of the disease is crucial to controlling the disease; however, current diagnostic tests lack sensitivity. This study evaluated the potential for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detected by gas chromatography and an electronic nose (eNose) for use as diagnostic tools to differentiate between Map-infected and non-infected cattle and sheep.
