In the present study, 2150 Egyptian cattle were examined clinically for JD. Among these, samples from 160 cows were investigated for the presence ofMycobacterium aviumssp.paratuberculosisusing various laboratory methods including direct microscopic examination, faecal culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). According to the data obtained by the culture method, positive results could be observed for 75 cows from three of five investigated districts in Egypt.
