Evidence of <i>in-utero Mycobacterium avium</i> subsp. <i>paratuberculosis</i> infection in two pregnant goats: PCR detection, bacterial isolation, and molecular genotyping
This study provides the first direct evidence of <i>in-utero</i> MAP infection in clinically JD-infected pregnant goats in the Republic of Korea. Two distinct MIRU-VNTR genotypes were identified, including a novel MAP strain, highlighting the need for improved management strategies to prevent vertical transmission of JD and address genetic diversity within goat herds.
