Release… Oversight Committee to Propose a Johne’s Disease Control Program
The
Canadian National Johne's Forum hosted by Saskatchewan Agriculture &
Food, was a tremendous success and attended by approximately 100 people
on November 17 - 18 in Saskatoon. This represents a very strong interest,
perhaps not seen since efforts to eradicate Brucellosis and TB.

Boehringer-Ingelheim (Canada) Vetmedica /In the past year much
interest has been focused on the role played by MAP in Crohn’s disease
and the risk that food produced from MAP-infected livestock may pose
to people susceptible to developing Crohn’s disease (1, 2, 3). Crohn’s
disease has a complex pathogenesis. I am not qualified nor willing to
enter the debate. It is clear, however, that the debate will continue
until either there is unambiguous evidence of an etiological role for
MAP in Crohn’s disease or other etiologic agents are identified.
