Abstract
An absorbed ELISA for detection of antibodies against Mycobacterium paratuberculosis was performed on serum samples obtained from the Missouri Animal Health Laboratory. Samples from 1954 Missouri cattle representing 89 herds were randomly selected from samples submitted for brucellosis testing. The apparent seroprevalence of paratuberculosis in dairy cattle (8 +/- 3%) was similar to that in beef cattle (5 +/- 2%). When herds were classified as dairy or beef, 74% (14 of 19) of dairy herds and 40% (27 of 68) of beef herds were positive.Entities:
