Paratuberculosis (Johne’s Disease)/Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP)

The USDA-approved IDEXX MAP Ab Test, based on Institut Pourquier technology, is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of MAPspecific antibodies in bovine milk, serum or plasma. Because the test can be used with milk, dairy producers can test milk samples they routinely collect for milk quality testing, with no additional sample collection costs.
