Johne

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Health
  • Food Safety

Background:

  • Johne's disease (pronounced "Yoh-nees") is spreading through livestock in the U.S., causing significant economic losses.
  • The bacterium Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) causes Johne's disease.
  • MAP may be a food-borne pathogen, posing a risk to human health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the urgent need for a national Johne's disease control program in the U.S.
  • To advocate for updated federal regulations and state-level certification programs.
  • To encourage industry and veterinary professionals to actively participate in disease control efforts.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current national and state-level initiatives for Johne's disease control.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of the economic and public health implications of inaction.
  • Examination of existing guidelines for certifying test-negative herds.

    • Main Results:

    • National guidelines for a Johne's disease control program have been developed by the National Johne's Working Group (NJWG).
    • National program guidelines exist for certifying test-negative herds for paratuberculosis.
    • Federal regulations regarding Johne's disease are outdated and hinder control efforts.

    Conclusions:

    • A unified national control program is essential for consistent Johne's disease management.
    • Implementing herd certification programs can reduce disease transmission.
    • Updating federal regulations is crucial for effective Johne's disease eradication efforts.
