Abstract

A case of bovine paratuberculosis is presented which was tentatively diagnosed on the basis of symptoms and post mortem findings and subsequently confirmed by demonstration of acid fast organism in impression smear from intestine and IS900 tissue PCR. Ziehl-Neelsen acid fast stained faecal smear examination by light microscopy and single intradermal Johnin test failed to detect the disease.
