Figure 3: Gene cluster map between genetic sequences <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> MAP described in this study<br />

(MAP-UFRGS; MAP-UFV/07; MAP-UFV/09 and MAP-UFV/J) and sequences available <strong>on</strong><br />

GenBank (X16293, AF416985, AJ250015, AJ250022, AJ250023; AJ250020, AY660658,<br />

AJ251436, AF305073, AY660657 and AF455252). Method: UPGMA; Statistical Support:<br />

1000 replicati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> bootstrap.<br />

CONCLUSION<br />

Results c<strong>on</strong>firmed presence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> MAP in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> analyzed samples that showed identity<br />

with <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> inserti<strong>on</strong> sequence IS900. This study c<strong>on</strong>firmed MAP in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> tested milk samples,<br />

providing key informati<strong>on</strong> about presence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> paratuberculosis in dairy herds in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> regi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Since <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>re is a lack <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>ficial paratuberculosis surveys<br />

and c<strong>on</strong>trol programs in Brazil, fur<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r studies will be needed to support <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> adopti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

nati<strong>on</strong>al paratuberculosis c<strong>on</strong>trol measures. The diluti<strong>on</strong> that occurs in bulk tank samples<br />

makes <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>m n<strong>on</strong>-ideal for PCR analysis, despite being <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> type <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sample chosen to perform<br />

a herd screening. This is <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> first report <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> MAP detected in raw milk samples from dairy<br />

cattle in Brazil and it is reas<strong>on</strong>able to c<strong>on</strong>sider its as a first survey <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> disease in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> state<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Minas Gerais, Brazil.<br />
