Clustering of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in rabbits and the environment: How hot is a hot spot?
Article Abstract:
The spatial and temporal dynamics of paratuberculosis in rabbits within a hot spot region was studied with the aim of determining the environmental patterns of infection and the risk of interspecies transmission to livestocks. The aim of the study was to determine if the prevalence of paratuberculosis in rabbits varies temporally between seasons and whether the heterogeneous spatial environmental disturbance of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis on a large scale is replicated at finer resolutions within hot spots.

Routes of intraspecies transmission of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus): A field study
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine the routes of intraspecies transmission of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) in rabbits and to estimate the probability of transmission via each route, in order to gain understanding of the dynamics of MAP in this host. Rabbits were sampled from two sites where MAP had previously been isolated from the livestock and rabbit.

Replication and long-term persistence of bovine and human strains of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis within Acanthamoeba polyphaga
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the ability of replication and long-term persistence of bovine and human strains of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis with the help of laboratory cultures of Acanthamocba polyphaga. It was observed that the potential for long-term persistence in environmental protistsis is provided by M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis.
