Evidence for local and international spread of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis through whole genome sequencing of isolates from the island of Ireland

Viktor Perets et al.

Summary: This study applied whole genome sequencing (WGS) to analyze 197 Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (MAP) isolates from cattle herds in Ireland. The results showed that WGS provided more detailed grouping compared to mycobacterial interspersed random unit - variable number tandem repeats (MIRU-VNTR). The study also found evidence for the transmission of MAP across Ireland via cattle movement and international transmission of infection. The findings contribute new insights into the spread of MAP infection and highlight the potential of WGS in informing policy formulation to control transmission at various scales.

Systematic and meta-analysis of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis related type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus

Temitope C. Ekundayo et al.

Summary: The study reveals a significant association between MAP and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), highlighting the potential impact of MAP prevention and environmental control on T1DM management. However, the relationship between MAP and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains uncertain and requires further data to determine their association.

Gaurav Agrawal et al.

Summary: The association between MAP and Crohn's disease is controversial, with some studies suggesting it may contribute to the development of the disease while others argue that the association is merely coincidental. Further research is needed to uncover the truth behind this relationship.

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.

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis Virulence: A Review

Judah Ssekitoleko et al.

Summary: This review discusses the mechanisms utilized by MAP to overcome the host defense system to achieve virulence, including putative MAP virulence genes and their probable roles in comparison to other mycobacteria. It also highlights the importance of understanding MAP virulence mechanisms in controlling and preventing paratuberculosis.

Genomic diversity of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis: pangenomic approach for highlighting unique genomic features with newly constructed complete genomes

Jaewon Lim et al.

Summary: This study conducted whole genome-based alignment and comparative analysis of 40 publicly available MAP genomes to investigate genetic diversity and differentiate major types (C- and S-type) of MAP populations, while developing a real-time PCR technique to distinguish among different strains. The results suggest that phenotypic differences between MAP strains can be explained by genetic polymorphisms, aiding in elucidating the diversity of MAP from genomic features to phenotypic traits.
