An economic decision support tool for simulating paratuberculosis control strategies in a UK suckler herd.
R. Bennett, I. McClement and I. McFarlane, University of Reading, UK.
Preventive Veterinary Medicine 93:286-293, 2010.  A dynamic, deterministic, economic simulation model was developed to estimate the costs and benefits of Johne’s disease control in suckler beef herds, known in the U.S. as cow-calf operations. This is the first such model dealing with beef cattle herds.
The model is available free at: http://www.fhpmodels.reading.ac.uk/. The publication describing the model is available at: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/503315/description#description |

Paratuberculosis. Organism, Disease, Control.
Editors: M.A. Behr & D.M. Collins. CABI, Oxford, UK. Recent advances in detection, vaccination and microbial genetics make this a timely book that examines the epidemiology of paratuberculosis, the organism that causes the disease, and practical aspects of its diagnosis and control. It also addresses the link between MAP in in the food chain and human health implications, including Crohn's disease.

Dr. Chiodini, one of the pioneering scientists in the history of paratuberculosis, has come out of retirement to lead a research effort to determine if the relationship between M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) and Crohn’s disease is causal or coincidental.
