About Paratuberculosis
Bovine paratuberculosis, also known as Johne's disease, is a chronic bacterial infection mainly affecting cattle. The disease is caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), a bacterium that infects the intestinal tract of animals. Symptoms of bovine paratuberculosis include chronic diarrhea, weight loss, reduced milk production, and increased mortality in infected animals.
Diagnosis & prevention of paratuberculosis
DIAGNOSIS
Paratuberculosis is often difficult to diagnose, due to its slow progression and similarity to other gastrointestinal diseases. Early diagnosis of Bovine Paratuberculosis is crucial for effective control measures. Paratuberculosis real-time PCR and digital PCR kits, such as those developed by BioSellal, offer a rapid and accurate solution for the detection of MAP (Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis) in animal samples, as well as environmental samples such as manure and soil scrapings.
PREVENTION
➜ Herd Management: Separation of infected or suspect animals from the rest of the herd, use of clean, dry bedding, and hygienic feeding practices to reduce animal exposure to the bacteria.
➜ Screening tests: performance of individual and pooled serological tests, as well as DNA detection to identify infected or carrier animals with MAP, elimination of infected or carrier animals from the herd to reduce the spread of the disease.
➜ Hygiene and bio-security: cleaning and disinfecting facilities and equipment to reduce environmental contamination by MAP, limiting the introduction of animals from infected or high-risk herds.
In summary, Johne's disease prevention relies on a combination of herd management practices, testing, control programs, hygiene, and biosecurity. An integrated approach is essential to reduce the prevalence of the disease and minimize its impact on animal health and herd productivity.

To ensure the integrity and efficiency of your kits, follow these storage recommendations:
Real-time PCR kits:
On receipt: Store kits at a temperature ≤ -16°C. This preserves the quality and performance of the kit components.
ELISA kits:
On receipt: Store components at 5 ± 3°C to maintain efficacy. The concentrated wash solution can be stored at room temperature, i.e. 21 ± 4°C.
By respecting these storage conditions, you ensure the reliability and optimum performance of your kits for accurate and consistent results.
- The shelf life of a PCR kit for the detection of RNA pathogens (viruses) is 12 months.
- The shelf-life of a PCR kit for the detection of DNA pathogens (viruses, bacteria, parasites) is 24 months.
- The shelf-life of an ELISA kit is 15 or 18 months.
At BioSellal, we are constantly seeking to improve our products. We regularly carry out stability studies to extend expiration dates, guaranteeing that our kits will always perform better and last longer.
