MAP and Cattle
Mycobacterium avium sub species Paratuberculosis.( MAP ).
MAP is transfered from one cow to another, from it's contaminated faeces.When the cows are inside barns, this enables the MAP bacteria to spread futher amongst the herd.Contaminated pastures also spread this MAP bacteria, to other cattle in the herd and other animals in the environment.Rain and run off that come from contaminated pastures infect rivers and water supplies.MAP survives a year in cow faeces, so it is around for a long time, to affect other animals, and pollute water supplies.
MAP then can transfer to humans via the Tap.
MAP then can transfer to humans via Pasteurised Milk.
MAP then can transfer to humans via Contaminated Meats.
MAP then can transfer to humans via other Dairy Products.
