Abstract: The possibility that MAP may be a zoonotic pathogen is also an important consideration regarding this agent.This question has generated considerable speculation by the scientific community for nearly a century.In 1984, a series of reports re-initiated the controversy regarding the role of mycobacteria, specifically MAP, in the etiology of Crohn's disease.[12][13][14][15] Although multiple, independent reviews of the entire body of scientific literature have determined that the evidence regarding this proposed link is inconclusive, controversy regarding this issue remains.[16][17][18][19] Several aspects of the epidemiology of MAP infection and Johne's disease in dairy cattle require continued scientific investigation.The research described here addresses several of these issues.
