Tissue samples were available within the framework of a parallel study investigating BSE-susceptibility factors in members of BSE-cohorts in the German Federal State of Lower Saxony. Ileocaecal lymph nodes were collected over a 2-year sampling period from 99 slaughter cattle of a mean age of 6.5 years (5.5-7.5 years). A recently developed IS900 semi-nested polymerase chain reaction (snPCR) assay offering a sensitivity of 1 genome equivalent was used for the detection of MAP-DNA. Based on this snPCR, 17 out of the 99 samples gave positive results, indicating a MAP occurrence of 17.17% in the random sample. All PCR products were sequenced for screening of polymorphisms. Nucleotide homologies of 98.5-100% were found with respect to the MAP K10 reference sequence IS900 (GenBank: AEI 6958). PCR analysis of ileocaecal lymph nodes collected from slaughter cattle proved to be a suitable technique to determine MAP occurrence in the local cattle population. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

The presence of MAP in captured wildlife might provide further information on non-ruminant hosts and expand the list of animals susceptible to MAP being potential sources of MAP transmission. Therefore, a German zoological garden with recent history of clinical paratuberculosis in Barbary sheep (Ammo tragus lervia) and an alpaca (Lama pacos) was selected to estimate the distribution of MAP infections in 21 mammalian and avian species. Pooled faecal samples from individual animals of each species were tested for the presence of MAP. A previously developed 15900 semi-nested PCR (snPCR) assay, amplifying a 587 bp and a 278 bp fragment, was used for the detection of MAP-DNA. Based on this snPCR, in 14 out of the 21 pooled faecal samples MAP-DNA was detected. MAP positive snPCR results were observed in ruminants and camelids as well as in non-ruminants such as equines, primates, rodents, and birds. Moreover, a quantitative real-time PCR demonstrated that the concentration of MAP-DNA was within the range of 2.2 x 10(3)-9.6 x 10(6) MAP-DNA equivalents per gram faeces. The highest amount was shed by primates such as Black-and-white ruffed lemurs (Varecia variegata) and Cottontop tamarins (Saguinus oedipus). This is the first survey investigating the presence of MAP in a German zoo, which includes non-ruminants. The results of the present study confirm the wide host range of MAP and demonstrate that MAP occurs more frequently in zoo animals than expected. In order to restrict further spread of MAP in European zoos, additional investigations regarding the existing transmission pathways of MAP in zoos are recommended. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Although MAP has been detected in semen and within the reproductive organs of bulls, the bacterial distribution and shedding patterns are currently not well characterized. Our investigation was performed to detect and quantify MAP in faeces, semen and blood samples repeatedly drawn from a naturally infected but asymptomatic 18-month-old German Simmental breeding bull candidate over a period of 3years (June 2007November 2010). Qualitative and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques were used to correlate the presence and matrix-specific amounts of MAP. In total, 65 sampling dates were selected. Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis was detected intermittently in all matrices with MAP-free intervals of up to 18weeks by an IS900 semi-nested PCR. The number of MAP-positive results from semen and blood samples was higher than from faecal samples. A quantitative polymerase chain reaction detected the highest MAP contents in faeces (103106MAP/g), while lower amounts were found in semen and blood samples (102105MAP/ml). Although no significant agreement was calculated between the presence of MAP in faeces and blood, a statistically significant positive correlation between its occurrence in semen and blood was determined (r=0.38, P<0.05, n=29). The present study contributes to a more detailed understanding of MAP distribution patterns in faeces, semen and blood of a subclinically infected breeding bull candidate. It highlights the possible role of breeding bulls as a source of MAP transmission and indicates the need for further monitoring and hygienic measures to prevent the spread of the infection via semen."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology [KF2484201AJ9]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1865-1682.2012.01336.x"],["dc.identifier.isi","000316078200011"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22571476"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/30406"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.issn","1865-1674"],["dc.title","A Longitudinal Study to Characterize the Distribution Patterns of Mycobacterium avium ssp paratuberculosis in Semen, Blood and Faeces of a Naturally Infected Bull by IS 900 Semi-Nested and Quantitative Real-Time PCR"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

With three samples out of six samples being positive, wood shavings showed the highest Salmonella prevalence, followed by peat with two positive results. Corn silage was found to be a suitable alternative for common litter materials and revealed only one positive sample. Chopped straw was found to be free of Salmonella in our study.

Results: Clinical symptoms were characterized by multifocal circular exalted and partly fluctuating skin lesions. They aroused suspicion of a poxvirus infection.
