In October 2004, 41 goats > 2 years old from a Saanen dairy goat herd located in Purranque County, 10th Region, Chile, were sampled and tested for paratuberculosis. While collecting samples it was observed that several goats were thin and emaciated. One goat was sufficiently debilitated to warrant humane euthanasia. This animal was brought to the Veterinary School at the Universidad Austral de Chile for necropsy. The goat selected for necropsy was a 12-year-old doe. The animal showed classical clinical signs of caprine paratuberculosis: emaciation despite willingness to eat, dry and rough hair coat, and no evidence of diarrhea. Gross pathology and histopathology of the necropsied goat were consistent with paucibacillary paratuberculosis. Bacteriology, serology, and PCR confirmed the diagnosis. This is the first published report of goat paratuberculosis in Chile confirming a case of caprine paucibacillary paratuberculosis.
2004年10月，从智利第10大区普兰克县一个萨能奶山羊群中选取了41只2岁以上的山羊，对其进行副结核病采样和检测。在采集样本时，发现几只山羊消瘦憔悴。有一只山羊身体极度虚弱，需要实施安乐死。这只山羊被送到智利南方大学兽医学院进行尸检。选作尸检的山羊是一只12岁的母羊。该动物表现出典型的山羊副结核病临床症状：尽管有食欲但身体消瘦、被毛干燥粗糙，且无腹泻迹象。尸检山羊的大体病理学和组织病理学表现与少菌型副结核病相符。细菌学、血清学和聚合酶链反应（PCR）确诊了该病例。这是智利首次发表的证实山羊少菌型副结核病病例的山羊副结核病报告。
