Genome-wide association analysis for susceptibility to infection by Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis in US Holsteins

B. W. Kirkpatrick et al.

Summary: This study identified genetic variations associated with susceptibility to MAP infection in Holstein cattle through genome-wide association analysis. The results suggest that genomic selection against MAP infection is feasible in Holstein cattle.

A Genome-Wide Association Study for Tolerance to Paratuberculosis Identifies Candidate Genes Involved in DNA Packaging, DNA Damage Repair, Innate Immunity, and Pathogen Persistence

Maria Canive et al.

Summary: Although the genetic susceptibility to diseases has been extensively studied, the genetic loci and mechanisms that control disease tolerance are still largely unknown. In this study, the associations between host genetics and paratuberculosis (PTB) tolerance in cattle were investigated. The researchers found several single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with PTB tolerance, shedding light on the mechanisms underlying this trait.

Economic losses due to Johne's disease (paratuberculosis) in dairy cattle

Philip Rasmussen et al.

Summary: Johne's disease (JD), caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) bacteria, leads to reduced milk production and economic losses in dairy cattle. The study estimated annual losses of approximately $33 per cow in MAP-infected herds, with total losses reaching millions of dollars in major dairy-producing regions like the United States, Germany, France, New Zealand, and Canada.

Identification of loci associated with susceptibility to bovine paratuberculosis and with the dysregulation of the MECOM, eEF1A2, and U1 spliceosomal RNA expression

Maria Canive et al.

Summary: This study identified cis-eQTLs associated with bovine paratuberculosis infection and found that these genetic variants are related to clinical phenotypes and the risk of progression to paratuberculosis in cattle.

Identification of loci associated with pathological outcomes in Holstein cattle infected with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis using whole-genome sequence data

Maria Canive et al.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic associations between host genetic and pathology in bovine paratuberculosis. It identified specific SNPs associated with multifocal and diffuse lesions, as well as enrichment of candidate genes involved in cholesterol metabolism and keratinization pathways. The findings suggest that MAP-associated pathological outcomes may be partially genetically determined, indicative of distinct host responses.

A new paradigm for leprosy diagnosis based on host gene expression

Thyago Leal-Calvo et al.

Summary: Transcriptional profiling is a powerful tool for investigating human diseases. This study used RNA-Seq to compare skin lesion transcriptomes in leprosy patients, identifying five genes capable of accurately distinguishing different types of leprosy. The research concluded that paucibacillary leprosy is characterized by epithelioid transformation and granuloma formation with an exacerbated cellular immune response, while multibacillary leprosy features epithelial-mesenchymal transition with phagocytic and lipid biogenesis patterns in the skin.

Summary: This study identified putative causal mutations for disease susceptibility in Holstein and Jersey cattle related to MAP infection, suggesting that two specific SNPs may alter transcription and consequently susceptibility to MAP infection.

Identification of loci associated with susceptibility to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection in Holstein cattle using combinations of diagnostic tests and imputed whole-genome sequence data

Maria Canive et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify quantitative trait loci associated with MAP infection in Spanish Holstein cows using diagnostic tests and whole-genome sequence data. GWAS identified SNPs associated with susceptibility to bovine PTB, while QTLs on several Bos taurus autosomes were linked to immune-modulating genes.
