MicroRNA profiling in bovine serum according to the stage of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne’s disease (JD), and it causes diarrhea and weakness in cattle. During a long subclinical stage, infected animals without clinical signs shed pathogens through feces. For this reason, the diagnosis of JD during the subc...
