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.

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.

Bovine paratuberculosis (PTB) is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by Mycobacterium avium susbp. paratuberculosis (MAP). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with susceptibility to bovine PTB. The main objective of...
