Paratuberculosis is a chronic, fatal condition that is usually clinically undetectable until the onset of copious diarrhea. Paratuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium paratuberculosis. Successful eradication of paratuberculosis depends on the early detection of infected animals, allowing removal of carrier animals from the herd. Treatment for paratuberculosis is therefore rarely indicated or undertaken. Treatment may, however, be considered in ruminants of exceptional genetic value or in companion animals.
副结核病是一种慢性、致命的疾病，通常在大量腹泻发作之前临床上无法检测到。副结核病由副结核分枝杆菌引起。成功根除副结核病取决于早期发现受感染的动物，以便从畜群中清除携带病菌的动物。因此，很少有必要对副结核病进行治疗或实际开展治疗。然而，对于具有特殊遗传价值的反刍动物或伴侣动物，可能会考虑进行治疗。
