Abstract

Purpose of review

The goal was to evaluate the trend in publications related to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) published between 2011 and mid- 2016.

Recent findings

The publication search was performed using the Web of Science® (WOS) database. Papers were split into categories dealing with i) methods for MAP detection, ii) immune responses to MAP, iii) MAP hosts, iv) prevalence and control, v) food and vi) zoonosis. In 2013, the highest number of papers was published in almost all categories. In all years, papers focused on methods, immunity or hosts predominated. Reports on zoonotic aspects of MAP were mostly published in 2011. Possible connection of MAP with other autoimmune, but non-intestinal diseases was suggested after 2011. MAP was also discovered in new animal species.

Summary

It is evident that MAP still plays an important role in many animal species. Its connection with Crohn’s disease and other autoimmune diseases is still under discussion.
