Comparative evaluation of improved ‘Modified Microscopic Test’ with traditional microscopy, indigenous ELISA kit, fecal and blood PCR for the diagnosis of Mycobacterium avium subs paratuberculosis in goat herd endemic for Johne’s disease
Abstract: Presently available tests for the diagnosis of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) infection were frequently used by several laboratories in developed countries, however, low income countries further required a test of affordable price or cost for small ruminants. Therefore, in present study five test, ‘Hexadecyl Pyridinium Chloride (HPC) processed fecal microscopic’ test (test 2), traditional microscopy (test 1), ‘indigenous ELISA kit’ (test 5) and ‘fecal IS900 PCR (test 3) and …
