Department of Ruminant Health, Animal Health Service, AJ Drachten, The Netherlands
Am J Vet Res 62:270-4. 2001..CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Vaccination of calves with a killed vaccine does not prevent transmission of M avium subsp paratuberculosis; therefore, hygienic practices remain essential in herd management...
