Johne's disease (JD or paratuberculosis) control programs have been established in many dairy-producing regions. However, the effectiveness (reduction of within-herd prevalence) and the relative economic impact as measured by, for example, the ratio of benefits to costs (BCR) across a comprehensive selection of regions and potential control practices require further investigation. Within a Markovian framework using region-specific economic variables, it was estimated that vaccination was the most promising type of JD control practice modeled, with dual-effect vaccines (reducing shedding and providing protective immunity) having BCRs between 1.48 and 2.13 in Canada, with a break-even period of between 6.17 and 7.61 years. Dual-effect vaccines were also estimated to yield BCRs greater than one in almost all major dairy-producing regions, with greater ratios in regions characterized by above-average farm-gate prices and annual production per cow. Testing and culling was comparably effective to a dual-effect vaccine at test sensitivities >70% but would remain economically unviable in almost all regions modeled.
许多乳制品生产地区已建立了副结核病(JD或副结核)控制项目。然而,在广泛选择的地区和潜在控制措施中,其有效性(降低牛群患病率)以及以效益成本比(BCR)衡量的相对经济影响仍需进一步研究。在一个使用特定地区经济变量的马尔可夫框架内,据估计,疫苗接种是所模拟的最有前景的副结核病控制措施类型,在加拿大,双效疫苗(减少排菌并提供保护性免疫)的BCR在1.48至2.13之间,收支平衡期在6.17至7.61年之间。据估计,在几乎所有主要乳制品生产地区,双效疫苗的BCR也大于1,在农场门市价格和每头牛年生产量高于平均水平的地区,该比率更高。在检测灵敏度>70%时,检测和扑杀与双效疫苗的效果相当,但在几乎所有模拟地区,其在经济上仍不可行。
