Abstrakt: Paratuberculosis is a chronic, debilitating, fatal condition caused by Mycobacterium paratuberculosis that usually is clinically undetectable until the onset of a copious diarrhea. Treatment for paratuberculosis is rarely indicated or undertaken; however, treatment may be considered in animals of exceptional genetic value. Treatment regimens are discussed, and specific recommendations are made by the authors. Treatment of paratuberculosis requires daily medication for extended periods and results in palliation of the disease instead of a definitive cure.
