dc.description.abstractThe present study was aimed to assess the Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) infection status in small ruminants. A total of 47 faecal samples inclusive of 23 from sheep and 24 from goats were collected and subjected to Ziehl-Neelson (Z-N) staining technique and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of 23 faecal samples collected from sheep none of the samples were positive and 1 sample out of 24 faecal samples from goats was positive by Z-N staining technique. Nine out of 23 samples from sheep and 7 out of 24 samples from goats were positive for MAP infection by PCR. Sensitivity and specificity of Z-N staining technique was calculated. Sensitivity and specificity of Z-N staining technique were of 5.8 and 100 per cent respectively when compared with PCR. Hence PCR can be used effectively for assessing the infection status of MAP in small ruminants.en_US
