Comparison of milk and serum ELISA, faecal culture and PCR in Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infected herds.

Our results indicate that serological Map-testing might lack sensitivity and specificity. On one hand, approx. only 1/5 animals assigned with Map-positive result of faecal culture/PCR and on the other hand, approx. 1/10 animals originating from herds without the present or previous reports on the presence of Map, tested serologically positive. In our case, faecal culture showed to be the most reliable method for the detection of Map-positive animals in herds with paratuberculosis, because PCR detection exerted lower sensitivity.
