Paratuberculosis, also referred to as Johne's disease, affects
principally cattle, goats, sheep, buffalo, deer and other
ruminants. It is common worldwide and responsible for significant
economic losses in the ruminant livestock industries. A timely
follow up to the first book on Paratuberculosis, this new edition
is still the only comprehensive text providing both historical
context and the latest developments in the field. Examining the
epidemiology of paratuberculosis, the organism that causes the
disease, and practical aspects of its diagnosis and control, it
also addresses the link between paratuberculosis in the food chain
and human health implications, including Crohn's disease. This new
edition: * Builds on a strong foundation to update, streamline and
better structure existing chapters with important new developments
from the last decade, such as whole genome sequencing and
phage-based assays; * Includes new chapters on the fast-growing
field of whole genome based comparative genomics, and the
increasing opportunities for disease control in low- and
middle-income countries; * Increases inclusivity by bringing on
board new rising star authors from diverse backgrounds to provide
international perspectives. A truly comprehensive, critical
reference resource, this book is an essential reference for large
animal veterinarians, livestock industry personnel and those
involved in the dairy and meat industries, as well as
microbiologists, researchers and students in these fields.
